Rolex advice please.

Hi guys,
Thinking about buying this



Dec 14 B+P £17665.

Can't find many for sale to decide whether to push for a further discount or if it is a good price already.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Going to be much more difficult to price match that as there wont be that many about.

Looks great though and good to see someone buying something different.

That is a difficult question and it is a lot of money to tie up in a single watch where the value is so arbitrary.

Why not wait a while (let the prices drop) and go for one of the new ceramic models that look really classy and will always be easy to move on if you so wish.

SS Daytonas are always a best buy.

SS Daytonas are always a best buy.

That is a myth put about by people who own then. Whilst I agree that the new SS Ceramic with white dial is a stunner, the previous SS white dial looked plain - I much prefered the zenith models with the black sub dial rings - looked much better.

The non all SS versions give you dial options other than good old black and white.

Ultimately your call Gab, but I have seen better combinations, the new green dial and all gold watch is an absolute stunner.

Not my cup o' tea. But do you want it? Are you thinking it's an investment? If former get it. I never would buy a watch just because a forum said "yay" for £100 never mind what you're proposing.

When I said SS Daytonas are always a best buy, I meant that the have lower rates of depreciation and are usually easier to sell.

I have a plain Zenith model 16520 which is plain humble SS and it is quite favoured.

No idea on value, but it looks amazing... If I could I would!

You are right Mick, I was considering the previous model in SS with a white face and with the tan coloured steel circles on the sub dials it just looked drab IMHO.

The zeniths are much better with the black sub dials, but a holy grail would be SS Mark 1 floating dial with super rare porcelain dial - last one I saw was €50,000 euros.

The SS models are more favoured by people and therefore easier to sell as there is more demand for them, but the TT and all gold versions give you different dial options that are not available on SS - like the one that Gab was considering.

It's not a myth though, the SS hold their values far better than precious metals. Same with most SS Rolexes when comparing.

I now have the new ceramic and the last one, both in white dial and they are both stunning :-)

Sorry to pour scorn on your object of desire, but that isn't nice! The numbers on the dial!!! They are horrid! Too big, wrong colour, too prominent and look cheap. My warped personal aesthestic view obviously.

[Deckard81]

Thank you all.
I obviously like it, otherwise I wouldn't contemplate buying it.
Investment in a gold Rolex? Is there such a thing?
SS and RG versions of the Daytona feel and wear very differently. Same model but very different watches.
If yeti is correct, and I assume he is, than I'll pass, that one is 2nd hand.
Thank you all again!

[Deckard81]

Thanks for the replies. I'm not going to buy it but BTW is rose gold, not yellow, just a poor iPhone picture in the shop

[Dave+63]

Personally, if I were to buy a gold Daytona, it would have to be white gold and probably on a rubber B

Strongly Agree!

[RAJEN]

Am a fan of gold Daytonas and have a couple but this would not be my choice.
But, if you like it- that's what matters.
Cannot be of help re price.

You don't count. You have a couple of nearly every watch ever produced....;-p

What are you going to buy instead?

Love this model, but prefer the other two dials. Buy it and get the ivory or the panda:





And anyone who thinks it looks cheap or fake, obviously have never come close to one. Personally I prefer the more classic yellow gold but it depends what else you wear with it etc.
