Selling Daytona, buying Daytona?

[ELV]

Hello all

I am new to these forums and very much not a watch expert, though I have the good fortune to own a nice Rolex, Daytona 6263.

I am currently considering selling this watch. However, though I would like the cash it will pain me to part with the watch. So to soften the blow what I am considering is using some of the money to purchase another, cheaper Rolex -- depending on the price I can get for the 6263, I might be looking to spend around €10k - €20k.

I am quite attached to the appearance of the Daytona. So my question is, are the (relatively) cheaper, newer Daytona models good value for money? And will the value appreciate over time?

Thanks in advance for all replies that don't use too much expert jargon that I won't understand! :)

Only good value are the gold versions, check out the WG panda and blue dials, very nice.

Aren't the SS ones a good value if you can purchase one for MSRP. Seems at $12,400 USD they present a pretty good value for what else is in the market.

Yes, but that seems to be the challenge here. Do a search for "Daytona wait" and see how many people have been trying to get one at MSRP.
