Excluding the PNs and those ultra rare prototypes and the bejeweled ones...

Which do you think will keep going up in value and will be a better piece to put money in?

Vintage Daytonas (6263, 6265, etc..)?
Or the modern Daytonas in precious metals (116528, 116505, 116509, etc..)?

They are about in the same neighborhood in terms of pricing...

Cheers friends :)

Flip a coin...

I'd vote for vintage...but who knows?

subtona · 29 October 2013, 12:32 PM

precious metals never seem to do as well, especially when it comes to daytona's.

nick c · 29 October 2013, 12:39 PM

Old Daytona

agree with mr Sellers.

All steel models

ufboy73 · 29 October 2013, 01:40 PM

This poll is not real, right? Lol

Vintage, if you had to pick one

GB-man · 29 October 2013, 03:12 PM

Id put dollars to doughnuts in the vintage set based solely on past data. Yeah the past is just that but the correlation is pretty overwhelming. Lower production, less available in good condition etc

samsam · 29 October 2013, 03:18 PM

I would vote SS vintage or even SS zenith movement, those look rather fantastic.

SLS · 29 October 2013, 03:22 PM

Simple, vintage, they just don't make them anymore.

Stainless Vintage!

padi56 · 29 October 2013, 09:54 PM

All of the vintage models with the Valjoux72 series movements plus the Zenith powered ones,as for the modern day Daytona forget it in all forms.But like most all Rolex watches today including the modern Daytona, they will hold a much greater proportion of original price paid than many other high end brands today.

Racerdj · 30 October 2013, 01:23 AM

Vintage, but I am not an expert.

jjnd08 · 30 October 2013, 01:50 AM

Vintage. All is based on supply and demand; and since supply on these cannot ever increase, you just need an elevated demand.

I really don't think any modern Rolex will ever be a collectible like a vintage Daytona, Red Sub, or the illustrious moon-phase Rolex. I think mass-production, a larger appreciation for fine watches, and everyone holding on to them in hopes for the sky high sky high appreciation rate has killed the possibility. I'm no expert, but just my opinion.

BNA/LION · 30 October 2013, 05:25 AM

Vintage Daytona

brettpaul · 30 October 2013, 05:36 AM

The best reference may be to check some if the auction catalogues from 10+ years ago and see how the SS models have done versus precious metals.....with the exception being those few Daytonas with porcelain dials.....actually, SS has still done better.

You have to buy and wear what sings to you the most, but Rolex won't make any more classics at the end of the day!

nauticajoe · 30 October 2013, 07:44 AM

Definitely vintage.

phatotto · 30 October 2013, 07:45 AM

Wait long enough they all be vintage!! LOL

AK797 · 30 October 2013, 08:03 AM

Vintage Daytona

landroverking · 30 October 2013, 08:51 AM

Vintage they just were not produced in the great numbers as the modern.

Lucky777 · 30 October 2013, 09:57 AM

Vintage, but value is always subjective :)

Manofsteelpt · 30 October 2013, 12:34 PM

Hopefully the 116509 with Meteorite dial :-)

Hairdude1 · 30 October 2013, 02:45 PM

Vintage

Nidal · 31 October 2013, 03:19 PM

SS that you buy second hand or an older SS in early 2000s and before.

I voted vintage, but it is relative, it's depending on what you paid in the first place. Find a vintage in a flee market or garage sale and you're laughing, buy it off an expert collector and you might never get the money back. As for the new precious metal models, one day they might only be worth their weight in gold and depending on the gold market that they, you could up or down...
