I am looking at a used YG Daytona Paul Newman Dial. It is an 07 in good condition, newer clasp, but no engraved rehaut for $22,000

or buy a new one, if I can get 20% and no tax for $25,600

What do you think is the smarter buy? what would you do? Is it worth it to save the $3,600

EDIT: HAS ANYONE HEARD OF VIPTIMEKEEPER.COM Safe?

Retail is $32000

Perdu · 10 January 2012, 10:40 AM

Personally, I don't like the engraved rehaut. An obvious case of over branding that does nothing to improve the design.

Grey dealer is $28 000 , AD $53 000, back to the topic , i think you should get a new one, the difference is nothing

bobbystevenson · 10 January 2012, 10:51 AM

I think you can do better than 20% off, minimizing the difference. I would go new. Once you get to that price level, a $2k price difference new to used isn't a big enough spread for me to go used.

yeah thats what im debating but its $3600. If I could get 25% off it would be nice. Would make it $24,000 and a done deal!

anyone head of VIPTIMEKEEPER.com? safe?

hatidua · 10 January 2012, 02:08 PM

I'm one of those oddballs that'd pay extra for the lack of the rehaut.

reecester · 10 January 2012, 02:13 PM

I would pay the extra $$$$.

bobbystevenson · 10 January 2012, 04:01 PM

If grey I would think you could do better than 20% for sure. Or are you working with a local AD? At $3600 I might go used. But I really think you can get it down to $24k for a $2k difference.

DD GT3 RD · 10 January 2012, 04:13 PM

not a local AD. Grey market. Right now its actually 25k even...said no lower.

does anyone know what they pay ? Im curious what they make off this deal.

bobbystevenson · 10 January 2012, 05:18 PM

Well the AD that sold it to the grey dealer paid $19.2k (or less if he bought it before the last price increase, depends how long the AD was sitting on it before he moved it to the grey dealer). So the grey dealer paid something between that and the $25k he's offering it to you for. That doesn't help much but does narrow it some. I reiterate that I believe you could get a better price from an AD. Particularly if you find one that's been sitting on the watch since before the last price increase.

I you are a collector and wont trade or sell your watch then buy a new one. But if you might change your watch or use it as a beater one then get a used one. Though 2000-3000$ doesnt make a big difference

DD GT3 RD · 11 January 2012, 10:06 AM

ORDERED NEW ONE!

should have it tomorrow. My first new watch :) all have been pre-owned

Gary1407 · 11 January 2012, 10:19 AM

Fantastic!! made the right choice!!

HL65 · 11 January 2012, 10:32 AM

Congrats and look forward to seeing pics!! It is a great watch and you will be a happy guy tomorrow when it's on your wrist!

snaggle · 11 January 2012, 10:40 AM

Excellent move on buying brand new.Congrats. In my opinion, one should never look at how much you are saving on the whole, but look at it as a percentage, $3600 is $3600 but how much percent of the whole price more is it? NOT MUCH! not worth saving the extra $$$ and get it preowned. The opportunity cost just isnt good enough!

bobbystevenson · 11 January 2012, 10:42 AM

Congrats! Good decision!

DD GT3 RD · 11 January 2012, 11:51 AM

Thanks Guys! and appreciate the input. Pics will come asap.
