yeah, you're right, mark, i do feel kind of bad for gto395.

i mean, all he wanted to do was come on here, poll the members for how much he could gouge someone for a new daytona, call us a bunch of pricks and run some shady transactions.

he doesn't deserve all this grief!

i guess i'm member #6??

After extensive mouse clicking it appears that the 116515 is being touted on average $1,000 over the already unbelievable asking MRSP of $27,650.00.

Info from 12 listings on chrono24.

If a dealer is asking $28.5k, I'd say to ask $27k.

$35k ? - Perhaps you'll be lucky. I mean Dadswatch wanted $60k for his average DRSD.

For me, I prefer the 116518. More gold in the 116518 than the 116515 and still available, like new, for less than £9k / $14k.

That's two 116518s for the price of one 116515.

As far as the "prick" thing is concerned, some may say the members doubting the watches existance was a little "prickish", others may say asking $35k for a $27k watch is also "prickish".

Is anyone buying these 116515s?

I know that the dealers are asking big coin but is anyone actually buying them?

I don't want to be a prick but can someone explain why a 116515 (gold / ceramic) MRSP is £4,000 ($6,500) more than a 116518 (gold / gold)?

Is less more?

Can one of you pricks clarify?
