    A rare Daytona SS at my AD

    I was in my local AD today and a SS Daytona was in the window. No one on the nine people list wanted it

    Now the prices on the grey markets have closed up to UK ones I wonder if we will see more people happy to pay RRP at a uk AD.
    It should help the used market

    It will be interesting to see what happens to the prices of the current Daytona model if (we of course won't know until the Fair itself and I can't say I'm highly optimistic, despite the rumours) there is a new SS Daytona model released this year .... also interesting to note the number of folk on the Horsham list who declined the 'offer' from the AD!

    Quite so. The grey prices provided a natural ceiling, a price buffer into which it seemed hard to push secondhand prices. This is now reduced and the tidiest secondhand pieces will inflate.

    What irritates is that so many push tatty pieces indiscriminately alongside better ones. One 116233 with a diamond dial is not the same as another. Poor bracelet, marked glass, grazed crown are all significant factors to me, but some take no account of such variables.

    Interesting times.

    Do you expect the gray market prices to drop at all, or do you think that the causes of the recent rises will stay in place?

    I think that is a logical conclusion, people currently buy from grey's to achieve a saving on AD prices. As that gap reduces, people will be more willing to pay a smaller premium for the AD experience.

    A SS Daytona isn't really rare these days. Prices for young, little used ones are dropping near 8000.-€ And if you have an AD which is not playing the rolex rarety myth game you can get it easily.

    Not me they took a deposit last thing Sat! Manager did ask if I want to go on their list and said it was quite short and that I should get one reasonably quickly so I may do that.

    Whittles in Preston rang me last week to say they had a white face one in. Might have gone by now but worth a call.

    S/S Daytonas are not 'rare', on the contrary.

    Cool, can you let me know somewhere that has one in stock at RRP, because I've not seen one yet.

    I looked in earlier as well out of interest but saw it had gone, Was curious to see how long it would be there after this thread.
