Icon14 Pops picked up a ceramic 18k pink gold, chocolate faced daytona!

The watch is incredible... I usually do not like daytona's on a leather band, however this is one of the most magnificent watches I have ever seen! He picked it up from torneau in nyc... He bought it, unfortunately to sell, not enjoy :(

What do you think a good price point for it should be? its new in box with papers AD warranty etc. What is the retail? how many of these are on the market right now?

My best guess ... $3k less than he paid for it.

Strange business that, buying from Tourneau to re-sell. Can't see how that would ever work.

So what old watches did he trade and how much cash did he add.....I am interested in knowing what Torneau would take for this new Daytona and it seems like this would be an important fact if your dad is looking to flip this Daytona anytime in the near future.

Also, I am certain that there are many on this forum (including myself) that would just love to see the pics of this new Daytona....Thanks!

I'm not a believer until I see pics. I was just at the Rolex boutique in Time Machine yesterday when I dropped my wife off at Sothys to get her massage. Though my friend wasn't in I did not see a trace of any Basel 2011 timepieces there...

I would prefer as well as the TRF family that you post pics here... The ceramic Daytona is a stunning piece and I'm not a Daytona fan at all. I'm not calling your bluff but as the say in Missouri aka the show me state - show me or in this case us

I handled one Sunday in Orlando just like the one pictured, didn't care at all for it. They have had 42mm Ex2's in and sold them.

Thanks, no harm no foul, just annoying when people said that it was bs...

Normally I would agree, with the sentiment that you go to an AD and the watch instantly depreciates...however on brand new hot ticket items, you never know.. it rreally depends, and in this case all signs point to a nice profit. Not to mention for a while ss daytonas were selling over retail.
