Sell or not to sell Daytona 116520 P series? Defect watch
Hello everyone
Yes I bought a daytona 116520 P series back in 2001. Unfortunately had trouble with it and been serviced 3 times with Balance wheel changed for free by Rolex. It used to jump time meaning the minute hand would move 15 minutes while only 1 minute passed .... last fix was in 2008 Now it is working properly I think and it does not get any wrist time ... just a feeling that it is defected ... tried with Rolex NYC to get a new watch but they refused and said they will fix it ... My questions are: 1. Anyone ever had issue with Daytona that series? Am I alone and just hard luck? 2. Should I sell it since I am not comfortable with it and how much does it fetch now? I read it is a Panna dial though mine seems white (don’t know how to attach a photo here) 3. Love the Pepsi a lot may be do some kind of a deal? Thanks for any advice. Hanna |

If it doesn't speak to you, sell it.

SELL, SELL, SELL!
Sounds like it's lost the luster to you. Time to get something else you'll enjoy without the headache. |

Well it you don’t love it any more, why keep it? Just be upfront with your buyer(s). Never heard of a similar defect before. As for how much it can fetch, it depends on the condition. Assuming you have a full set and that the movement is fixed now, these go anywhere from 15k to 20k depending on condition. The P series typically fetches a bit more as is was a transitional model (skinny hands). Good luck!

That is a watch I would sell immediatelyy.
If you have the servicevice paperwork also it will showw the purchaserhaser that the watch has been well maintained by Rolex themselvesves. There is no point keeping a watch that you don't feel confident wearing.
