I'm willing to bet that none of those have a glossy dial with exclamation point and perfect luminous. Not to mention the pointy crown guards.

In short, apples to oranges.

Yeah way too expensive. Can get a paul newman close to that price. 60k-100k might as we'll go big or go home.

It's been nearly 5 years since a nice PN Daytona could be had in the $60k-$100k region.

$50k is slightly high for the given 5512, however examples this fine are few and far between. Might be worth considering making an offer.

Prices too high for sure.

Better case examples out there for a lesser price.

I personally would hold out for a nicer case. Lugs have been well over polished.

Overpolished? They look in some pics like they have plastic on them and the lugs holes don't look to me like that's the case. I have to say WOW to the price though just made everyone's example here go up if it pulls that much

Thanks for pointing that out!

After looking at them, I'm still not convinced. Usually when the "spider sense" is going off, it typically means something isn't quite right.

The fact that it's overpriced makes it an easy pass.

If a vintage too perfect better to look an other one.
