But a gold Daytona costs more than this, even if you discount the gold content. People will pay what they want to pay. Live and let live.

That's been the advertised price for several brick and mortar watch dealers for the past couple of months. They do sell fairly quickly.
No iffy waiting around on lists or hunting around, skipping any potential price hikes and it's a debut year watch. The premium over RRP is a drop in the ocean for some.

Income. That may seem like a crazy amount to spend on a Daytona to me, but there are people out there who make that amount in a day.. Not so crazy to them I'm sure.

Or make that in 10 minutes. Give a speech to a Wall Street company, big pharma, oil execs, etc. Start a 'non-profit' Foundation or Organization.... easy money.

Ultimately thats Rolex fault. For insuficient availability of the model.
Those people sell double the price but they bought like everybody else.. .. so Big Brother Crown is not making anything out of this. And if Crown doesnt get anything.. it means soon they are gonna kill this trick, by making tonas ready at the windows. Just sit tight |

If I converted right, that's about $20K + VAT?
I'd say that's a rise from the 18K figures seen here on TRF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be fair, stating that someome (seller or buyer) is "mad" does tend to insinuate a problem.

The seller is only mad until he sells it for that price. Then he's a genius

They are a very reputable and honourable firm. I have bought many pieces from them and sought advice on others and they are fantastic.

Keep in mind that $14,000 to some people is $14. If I had a daytona for every $14 drink I bought while out in NYC...I'd gift a daytona to everyone in this thread. :D
