That's pretty much the same price as the new ceramic ones. Here's mine. Name:  IMG_0146.jpg

I paid slightly over MSRP for my black dial in Singapore but US$14,000 is ridiculous.

At least the ceramic is 'only' US$18,000

Agreed 100%!!! its the grey market dealers driving the price up... making everyone think that SS daytonas will disappear off the face of the planet and be unobtainable ......

Welcome to Kuala Lumpur (albeit briefly?), where even ADs are scalpers

That's quite a price. I was at KLIA on Saturday afternoon -- didn't have a chance to see their Rolex boutique.

MSRP in USA was $12,750 if not mistaken on 116520; not sure about new 116500 ceramic model

The frequently charge over MSRP on anything hot in KL Paul, it is exactly why I will never buy there!!! Even the LVC, DSSD Blue, BLNR have a premium.
