My reason for not liking this version, nor the gold GMT II with green dial, is completely superficial...Our football rival colors are green and gold...

Reminds me of the trading days when fed Alan Greenspan use to give briefings. Every trader on the floor were buying or selling depending on what he said.

In fairness to the believers of the hype, the watch was already produced in small quantities to begin with. I had only ever seen one at an AD locally back in November 2017, and it sold pretty quickly. But demand was never high and could be considered "niche", so it made sense that there weren't many of them delivered.

I also understand that demand for the reference is particularly high from China and people of Chinese origin (I say this being of Chinese descent). Green and Yellow are particularly lucky colours. Demand did creep up along with the rising tide in all Rolex sports models.

But the jump after the Mayer video was clearly and obviously overdone. Suddenly everyone and their mother was asking for one, greys increased their prices overnight and just seem to be testing newer and newer highs in the hope someone will buy.

Before the Mayer video I was the only client at my AD who asked about one after they sold their one in August 2018. After the Mayer video they get multiple calls a day for it. Clearly it seems a lot of the demand today is based purely on hype.

An interesting aside, in 2016 after the release of the 116500, in a Hodinkee article John Mayer says the Daytona is a $30k watch. At the time the hype was just in its infancy, but it’s interesting that he was pretty accurate with this number 3 years later

It was a joke. John had bought 20 of them and unloaded all.

Very true. Still not my cup of tea though.

You’re right! The guy is a genius!

boktan · 27 June 2019, 02:02 PM

Might be the odd one out, but Ive like this watch since I got the Hulk, but the grey prices are unbelievably high now.
And like it or not, the John Mayer vdo did make the watch a tad more attractive to me.

Nothing to do with reality. That sort of mod was sought for from the moment it was released. I personally saw a group of Chinese or HK people buying two pieces at once at my AD back around end of 2017/beginning of 2018. Then my AD told me that from all PM Daytona this is the most sought for. And especially by far-easterners because of the colour combo. So it was sought for, nowadays looks like everyone is obsessed with it.

Could mean Rolex will get their skates on and get a Gold LVc out asap... so probably 2024.

AK797 · 27 June 2019, 08:18 PM

I think the problem with Mayer and indeed even this forum if a thread gets a lot of traction, is that now there are a new breed of buyers, and a new mindset from greys, that Rolexes are profitable investments, rather than watches, and people are actively looking for triggers now.

I agree

The enthusiasm for wearing watches seems to have shifted more into enthusiasm for investing in watches.

BaronVonMikey · 27 June 2019, 11:44 PM

All i want is my Daytona green dial and my gmt 2 white gold pepsi with meteorite dial. I will be happy and my collection balanced out for years of enjoyment .

The meteorite dial WG GMT is such a beautiful watch.

I emailed my AD about those exact two models recently. No response lol. I can always call and get a hold of him, but maybe it's a good thing and saved me some money.

broham84 · 28 June 2019, 05:21 AM

Oh how naive of those who thinks John Mayer is the only reason why this watch is sought after.

jerryguo · 28 June 2019, 06:22 AM

I couldn't like the watch even after watching the hodinkee video.
