I have the platinum Daytona in my sights

[garyfromleeds]

I honestly don't know where to begin so here goes , since I first saw the platinum Daytona I've thought that watch is something else ! A flash watch with a sense of style , cool looking , yet business it sort of captures everything to almost everyone .

The draw back is the mega bucks price but I've waited and watched and I've managed to source a 2015 mint with box and papers with almost 20k off the new list price which is 55k .

The concerns I have are paying 36k for a watch is mega money still and will they become cheaper and cheaper / lose more money ?
I've spoken to a watch dealer friend of mine and he says there the best watch Rolex have ever produced of course that's a matter of personal opinion .

But he also thinks there now at a bargain price and should be snapped up .
What do you guys think about the watch and there values ?
Also if any of you out there own one please comment about how they wear and do they also scratch up easy ?

Many many thanks .

Seems like a steal at 36k?

He is in the UK, so he is talking about GBP.

In the UK where USD is not the currency.

Riddle solved..... well done

I don't see any advantage over the steel version, unless you like the brown & baby blue colour combo. I've tried one on, and it is a very, very heavy watch. I'd get the steel one and save over £20,000.

I love mine.

It's a great watch but it's hard to say if the used price will come down much more

[Etschell]

Even if you buy at 55k you'll lose 7 to 10k if you try and flip it. Be certain.

[AK797]

£36K sounds like a good price to me, but contact WF, Chronext or Blowers and get quotes from them and see what they are offering and if north/south of 30K.

[garyfromleeds]

Sorry for any confusion it's a uk supplied watch / in used condition and not new the price is £36,000 uk pounds

You really want it; so do it. No hesitation, no asking questions on the forum, no financial calculations.
Just do it.

[johnnyjazz]

It,s up to you man, will it be cheaper next year?, probably, will it scratch, yes, is 36k a good price, if you think so.
Will it make your life a happier place to live in if you put it on your wrist?

I'm one of those indecisive people I tend to overthink thinks 😂

Why would anyone else's opinion matter? There will be some who'll say don't and some who'll say go for it. You'll be none the wiser.

Do yourself a favor and make a decision. The rest of the world don't matter..

[watchwatcher]

Well...it's a huge decision, so overthinking is fairly natural, IMO.

I guess the inhibitor for me has been would I rather have two PM pieces for that money...and I would. Also, not a huge chronograph fan, so it's not my dream watch.

But...if this was my grail and I wanted it above all others, then I would probably pull the trigger.

I bought a two month old one in December. They don't seem to be any cheaper now than then, but I don't plan to ever sell it. Does it make me happy every time I put it on? Yes! Is it heavy? Yes! Does it feel heavy after it's on my wrist for a minute? No. Would I buy it again? In a minute.

I couldn't be happier with it, and struggle to wear my old trusty DJ for a day or two a month. I wear mine 28 days a month or so, and all day other than when exercising or playing sports, and I don't think it looks scratched up at all. I could see hairline scratches on the clasp within a day or two, but I never notice any imperfections. It's beautiful, comfortable, and durable. The perfect watch for me. Is it the perfect watch for you? I don't know.

I see you spent so much money on the watch you no can longer afford shoes... lol..

Seriously though it does look amazing.

It's a nice looking watch. It's not a good value at all even at 55k US. PT is even less priced then gold but the Platona is over twice the price retail in the watch. If I had 55k to drop I'd get the ceramic SS, the new WG/rubber Daytona then buy a 10 ounce platinum bar. But then again I wouldn't turn one down if given to me but if I were to buy it I'd want to make sure I wouldn't loose much if I needed to flip it. If you really have your heart set on it then why not life's to short. Here's a good read about SS vs PM

36,000 GBP is $47,200 USD and that is a good price IMO.
I would do it, if that is the one you want

[Manofsteelpt]

For that money, I'd be looking at other brands for sure. At the very least, multiple Rolex instead of one. A DD40 and WG Daytona would be a killer combo for the same money.
