This one is available for around £33-34K. I know the dealer and they are good guys with a good rep.

The best AD price I have seen is $60K pre-tax. I acquired mine BNIB for less!

Lgear080 · 26 June 2014, 06:25 AM

Fact of the matter is Rolex understood how to float this piece in a fickle
Marketplace... The new variants will be out soon, and once the
First run is out of stores the price will tip up again. I've personally
Seen and held a plastics in-place open card plat Daytona for $55k
Otd. It's just too much watch for me, but still feel it's mark on my
Wrist. If you can snag this for $60k otd, from an AD, with signed
Papers - by all means have at.

Well everyone certainly has their varied experiences on this topic and if you are willing to shop around a significant "deal" can be had!

The bottom line is it is truly an amazing watch and I wish all trying to get one best of luck and hope you do get it!!

Art... you've gotten pricing from an AD at $50k on this?

Where?

I'll buy tomorrow.

AS1 · 26 June 2014, 11:46 AM

definitely worried what I might do if I saw one of these in the flesh at an AD.

gummy · 26 June 2014, 01:15 PM

I would want to be sub 60K for sure

Need to buy that one "right"

dazzpowder · 27 June 2014, 05:11 AM

Man that is one badass watch. Choice of colours from Rolex was bold and so different from anything out there

raclaims · 27 June 2014, 05:38 AM

I've worn mine pretty much every day since I got it...that's worth the price of admission right there.

Agree I do as well and really thinking about downsizing as this really could be my one and only it is just that good!

Seems like this post has been dead for a few years, Curious what, in 2018, people are seeing discount wise here.

R!$ · 25 September 2018, 09:07 AM

Pay MSRP and ask for a SS Daytona

Fun thread to read four years later!

I haven't shopped it recently but believe all Daytonas are a little more dear than they were a year or so ago. I'd consider a slightly used one if that doesn't bother you. It didn't bother me.

(edit) It's nice to see that many of the big boosters in 2014 are still big boosters today!

If Chrono24 might be considered as reputable source since mid of 2017 offers appreciated from around 45 k in Euro to around 50 k, which is still around 25% less than MSRP. Tide lifts all boats, even the heaviest one!

rebel_1 · 25 September 2018, 12:19 PM

I’ve thought about selling mine. Reading this thread made me remember it’s the KING of Rolex! Mine is safe for a while!

I was trying to make sense of my collection, but the whole thing is senseless!

jonathan17 · 25 September 2018, 03:33 PM

How time really made a change. Before here In Singapore you can get this at a discount now used Platona goes for 70k usd.. hate this low supply crap now the grail becomes further out of reach.

wristmatic · 25 September 2018, 07:20 PM

25 percent discount and a stainless ceramic white dial daytona 5 weeks later

yxc145 · 26 September 2018, 12:27 AM

Just read another thread which the OP was offered 30% discount on two. I wonder if it will be the same for one. Maybe you should talk to him and get 3 together. Maybe you will get 35% off!!

believelandcle · 30 March 2019, 06:12 AM

Bringing this post back up to the top, got the call today for one. I asked about it like 6 months ago, planned to take a look at it and it sold the day before I went in....funny because it had been on the shelf for 3 months prior.

I'd like to pick one up, but not at 75k. I think 60 would be my target but I'm not sure an NYC dealer would go for that. I pay full retail for everything except I got a 10% discount on a YG YMII. Ideally I can get him to 30% but that seems unrealistic, 25 would make me ecstatic.

The idea of full retail + a SS is interesting, although I'd never wear that SS and would want to sell it. I've already got a WG Steel + Black daytona and with a platona who has time to wear the SS version ?! Now if I can do full retail + an aquanaut then we're in business ;-)

Greys and trusted sellers are going at $65K, so you should be able to do better than that since they are obviously marking up from their source...

As I said in the post above I was able to get mine for $60K in the beginning of December. I also purchased without taxes so all in all it seemed like a good deal. Sorry I didn't catch this was such an old thread. I wish they'd kill this model. It would really help with the value of it!!!
