Frostie, remember I stated that Bucherer of Berlin told me that the waiting list of the SS White Daytona is 7 years and that there is a 9-year waiting list on the Black Face Daytona SS?

Well, in that Bucherer "shop" I tried on EXACTLY that WG Daytona model you show pics of. And I agree: Is it ONE helluva a watch! Just the sheer WEIGHT of it is amazing!

There is only ONE thing that would bother me just a bit about owning a WG Rolex - in general: Being WG I wouldn't really think of it as being "gold" due to its (superficial) resemblance to steel.

But still: Awesome watch!

"The Value Of Anything Is How It Makes You Feel" wether it be the precious metal element or the marque, many fail to appreciate/ see the point of WG/platinium, then again many would fail to appreciate/ see the point of spending "how much !!!!" on a SS watch

Yes it does. Rolex has many ads in golf magazines with a golfer named Adam Scott who is wearing one in the ads

Less 25% . the gold dial options are so much nicer IMHO, i love the silver too, would consider a dial swop if it stays till its due a service, the subtle silver colour compliments the white gold nicely giving in my opinion an almost vintage patina in certain lighting. did you notice in "milos' watch shot the driving wheel shot thats actually a SS daytona with a "obtained" WG dial how much more grey/chrome like the metal colouration is in comparison

Frostie if there is any way that you could come to the States and are serious about a deal. I could get you a deal on a Rolex that would almost make a trip here worth your time and money.

and it would give me great pleasure to see you happy and do it for you.

Hi Frostie,

This really is a beautiful Rolex. This is the one that I'm saving up for. I might have to wait a couple of years though!!

I called my friend at a local watch shop here in Kuwait and he has the white gold mother of pearl dial which works out at €17,000 (NEW) and a used white gold black dial (March 06) for €14,350. There may be a little movement in these prices.

Good luck with your searches....

Craig
