A good friend of mine asked my opinion about this Daytona he's looking at in an auction. GMT's are more my area and I wanted to get the opinion of the experts here. Sadly, this is the only picture available for now.

WATCH: [1] Stainless steel Gents Rolex Daytona Cosmograph watch with black dial, Chronograph and stainless steel Oyster bracelet, circa 1991; model #16520, serial #N311278, movement model #4030, movement serial #56740, bracelet #503 78360, clasp #78360 [light scratches on bezel & bracelet]

nothing wrong with it.. shows some wear.. Seconds hand doesn't zero on reset..

However, auction is seldom the best way to purchase a watch.. The seller probably as a base price he won't sell it for less than, then there are the auction costs associated with a winning bid..

Auctions can result in sky high prices on pretty standard fare, which this one appears to be..

tell you friend to read the fine print "hammer price + buyers premium" ie. the commission could negate any bargain!

There may be better deals to be had than what you will usually pay at auction.
