If the AD called you and said they had a Daytona at list....

even though you already had one (white face)....would you buy it and just hang on to it?

Never a thought of flipping....but just seems like something good to hang on to....

I would NEVER flip the watch....what say you?

No I would pass on it. Not worth it to flip at the new MSRP.

If my AD said they had a Daytona, I'd only get it to flip it. I cannot stand no-date watches.

If the funds allow me I will definitely get it if AD calls as although the potential of flipping is not much but still its one of the rarest Rolex watch with an epitome chronograph movement.
