My local AD has 2 SS Daytonas in stock. One black and one white. That's pretty rare, right??

ltmgeller · 17 March 2016, 06:27 AM

Not as rare as the black ceramic bezeled one

Maxy · 17 March 2016, 06:30 AM

Now all the Daytonas from the safe will come out in the open!

TheRolexKingofLV · 17 March 2016, 06:31 AM

I have a feeling that with the arrival of the ceramic Daytona, alot of the 116520s will be surfacing at ADs that were locked up in back "in the safe". Gotta move em now, the new models are on the lot!

You're probably right

avantix · 17 March 2016, 06:35 AM

Why would a dealer keep stock in a safe and not sell them? That makes absolutely no sense considering how much cash they had to outlay to acquire them from Rolex and then let them sit in a safe?

RJC1 · 17 March 2016, 06:37 AM

Oh ok. That makes sense. The black one was out for at least 4 days and they just put the white one out today.

Dilinger · 17 March 2016, 06:37 AM

I guess its not that rare anymore eh?

Ain't demand and supply a b*tch?

For those special customers. They can do so without worry because that watch is so in demand.

DandyAnt · 17 March 2016, 06:49 AM

Think this will be a more common sight from now on.

All of a sudden .....

Vaxe · 17 March 2016, 06:52 AM

It's both funny and sad to see ADs moving these "elusive" 116520 from the safe to display glass.
Perhaps they will now be willing to discount?

tigerpac · 17 March 2016, 06:53 AM

Had to just wait 3 weeks for one! I'd get mad but it is so damn purdy

in a year there will be a premium for NOS 116520 SS bezel… and the cycle goes on

Exactly. They could sell them within 30 minutes of making a phone call if they wanted to. That won't change even with the new ones coming out.

texex91 · 17 March 2016, 07:06 AM

Buy one get one free...next few months the secondary and gray will see a bunch of them.

With the price almost the exact same as ceramic, it will be a tough sell.

Personally I think Rolex should have put the ceramic a $15k price point and they would still sell everyone.

They are leaving money/profit on the table IMHO.

agree, plus there is going to be a long waiting list for the new ceramic daytona, it won't fulfill it's demand for at least a few years anyway.

LeslieC · 17 March 2016, 07:11 AM

I've never understood the idea of putting them in a safe, either. None of the local dealers here have a secret stash in a safe. They simply sell Rolex watches.

I understand where you're coming from. From what I have been told some of these AD's have customers that spend over $100,000 a year with them. Mine does. So it's my understanding that if a special piece comes in that's hard-to-find they hold it for those special customers for a while first. That makes perfect sense to me but then I'm in sales too.

HorologyK · 17 March 2016, 07:21 AM

I selling mine for double once I get them.

Well stated Paul...And both at the same price point, I know which one I want!

BTW...you weren't kidding Paul when you told me about the Ceramic Daytona release days ago!

Well done!

Abdullasaif · 17 March 2016, 07:46 AM

move that old stock

That's going to take a few years. It's not a vintage, nor is it the latest and greatest anymore.

Racerdj · 17 March 2016, 07:49 AM

At least they will have quite a few months to move them.

Agreed. $15K would have been a good number IMO and would have kept a lot of current SS Daytona owners happier until they could get their hands on a new one. Depending on supply, they will likely sell for more than that on the secondary market for some period of time. Either way, I am hopeful to get one! Got to my AD very early today but who knows how their mysterious list will actually work. I am not a frequent purchaser or a big client of theirs, other than my last Daytona.

Well I guess it wouldn't be a "secret stash" if you knew about it!
