Exactly!

Rolex could produce as many Daytonas as Datejusts.

I have to admit, it is sometimes beneficial to live in the cultural void of flyover country. It will be two or three years where I live until people of means will know they should have a Daytona C and the wait list actually grows.:)

I was just browsing the Grey Dealer's Website where I purchased my two Rolexes & I noticed that the new 116503 T/T Daytona which I bought in April 2017 for 11,210 Sterling has increased in price to 11,990. I was just wondering if this was common across Europe. It's still 410 Sterling cheaper than a Rolex AD but it doesn't look quite as attractive now. Yes when your saving 1,190 it's worth it but if I was only saving 410 I would rather buy from an AD

you should research the 4130, it is a lot of movement for the price. combined with individual qa the price is very reasonable. it should be 2k higher.

But no more than the B01 or 9300 and both go for around 7 or even lower in the new Tudor...
