SS Daytona the most popular Rolex in Manhattan!!!!

[chebert]

So I had just finished taping my episode for the Dr. Oz show and I had on my new grail SS daytona. I was walking down 6th ave and I counted 6 SS daytonas in a 4 block radius. All of the guys that were wearing them werent wearing fakes if you know what I mean. They were well dressed and very cool. I wonder if its because in Manhattan everyone is more conscious of appearance and alot of folks have lots of MONEY!!! It made mine feel a little less exclusive but when I looked at mine again I was quite happy and extremely satisfied with my grail!!! Anyone else notice this in Manhattan???? In New Orleans where I live I NEVER see a SS daytona at a store or otherwise.

That makes me sort of happy I did not get one now. I hate having the same thing as everyone else.

I don't know what's going on - there seems to be a flood of new ss daytona's on the market... I picked up a brand new v series black face and a brand new v series white face in the past 2 weeks...

Still want a Zenith though...

Seems like the price has soften as well most of the ones on TRF are below MSRP. There are some good deals if you have the cash 6 weeks ago no one had any now TRF is flush with them.

Ummm I've grown up in and lived in manhattan most of my life. Quite honestly I have rarely ever seen SS Daytonas and I do get around in manhattan a lot. It ultimately depends on what part of manhattan though. I was just along 6th ave all morning and I saw no daytonas. I think I've only seen about 5 ss daytonas on wrists. 2 in upstate new york, 1 in long island, and 2 in manhattan. Most daytonas I've seen are not SS.

Glad I have mine!!!

My sister is a med student and a huge fan of the Dr. Oz show I'll be getting her to keep an eye out for your Daytona.

I agree - it will be interesting to see what prices will do in the next 3 months though...

I also grew up here in Jersey and have worked in NYC for most of my adult life and what I see most often in the city are Subs in SS, just like my 16610.

Although I was in a meeting recently with someone wearing a Yacht-Master SS/Plat which I admired the whole time and prompted me to seek out and purchase one of my own. Which I did!

But no, I don't see that many Daytonas, and believe me I look!

Come on now.

You own Rolex. It's the most ubiquitous luxury watch brand in the world.

You want exclusivity - get AP, Patek, Lange, etc.

We buy Rolexes for a reason - they are perennial classics. And they're reliable.

It's likely a passing phase. It'll bounce.

And I don't see any BNIB Daytona that's below MSRP.

Yes I'll have to agree! Subs are the most common rolexes I see here in the city

I hope nobody takes offense to this but Ss daytona's hype days are numbered. While sure the SS daytona is a very attractive watch indeed, there are more and more being produced annually. As more and more get into circulation the price will start to fall in line. That being said I doubt it'll stop ss daytona lovers from getting them except those that are anal with resale price.

I have rarely seen SS Daytonas in NYC. I lived there for 2 years.
The most SS Daytona, I have encounted was at Newark Airport Terminal C on a flight back to Chicago... there was 3 SS daytonas near me... not including mine.

I spotted a wg with a meteorite dial yesterday at subway restaurant in Chicago... I obtained a ss white dial one a few months ago and think of it as a achievement... So a young girl around 22-25 pulls up in a blue porshe... She had really big eyes if you get my drift... And sporting a wg one... Man I thought it took my 40 yrs to get my daytona!

And this has been the case for how long now? This isn't something new. It's been produced at a good rate for some time now.

Rolex isn't the best brand if you want something super-unique

Quality, ruggedness and sex appeal (to us WIS Weirdos lol) - of course!

yeah i hear you guys. I was at 6th ave and 50 thru 56th street. I saw 2 at the pret a manger sandwich shop when i was in there. I know that area is hip and savvy but its no SOHO. i just have nver seen that many in a 30 min time frame, but i dont care because i love mine!!!

[kcmo]

Just goes to show what GREAT taste those folks have!!! Shouldn't take away from your enjoyment of YOURS!

By the way, are you counting Brian Williams too??? I know his is black. Every night when I watch the Nightly News I practically sprain my neck trying to see which watch he's wearing!!! My husband just laughs!
