Hi guys im new on here and just wanted to see what you guys think in regards to buying a second hand Daytona, is it worth it ?
Could you be a little more specific? What do you mean by ‘is it worth it’.
Well ive never bought/invested in a high class watch before but i really like the look of the rose gold with chocolate dial version. I have come accross a fee around the £18000 mark i just wanted to know what you giys think of the pricing and if it will holdnits value
Need to be more specific - what condition, service history etc.Originally Posted by Mrhayes1oak
I have no specific watch im looking at in regards to service history and condition. I just wanted a few opinions on that specific watch. Sorry guys i have no other info for yous to go on
I’m guessing you mean a 116505 as oppose to a 116515
Does it have box and papers?
How old?
Has the bezel been polished?
Is the bracelet decent length?
Is it a private sale or from a retailer?
Is there a warranty?
Dial colour, I know you mention chocolate but generally that’s a little more than the pink
Just a things that will affect the price

2015

Not too sure about the bracelet length
And retailer
Not too sure in regards to warrenty but what should i be looking for ?
And the dial colour is the brown one

No its this one ??
Ok that’s a 116505
Is that a picture of the actual watch you are looking at, as that looks like a catalogue picture
And if the bezel has been polished that can be bad, as it does not take much for the enamel to come off the bezel letters
If its 2015, warranty is kind of irrelevant as it will have a decent amount of Rolex warranty left

Thats the not the exact watch as i have no exact piece im looking at at this moment in time, thats just one of google but that isbthe watch i was thinking about
Always buy from a trusted source.
If it's a full set and the bezel is unpolished in good condition then 18k is a good price to buy . It's an absolute beauty
If it’s 2015, box and papers and in mint condition from a dealer £18k sounds very cheap

Being honest I don’t think you will find one of that spec for £18k from a dealer, I would love to be proved wrong though

If i find more than one i wouldnt want a profit off you buddy, we help eachover out in here ive heard are the rules so i will help you out
Be cautious; people don't sell these watches cheap, especially dealers. They know a lot more than you do, and Daytonas are especially popular. The quality and repute of the dealer is key here.
But be very careful buying one. Especially on ebay.
Doubt 18k will buy one from bricks and mortar

Its not quite the model but it's within budget and looks handsome.
Bricks and mortar retailer and you can trust these guys too. Ask for Pat.

Bit of an old man's watch for a 21 year old - how did you get on with it?
Had no luck in the end my grandad bought me a car instead
God bless.
Enjoy the car.
No one is selling you that watch for £18k.
Nevermind hold its value it's worth double what you're paying.
If it's closer to £0 then it's true value, the it's true value is probably close to £0 (fake)
It was 6 years ago mate and to be honest was probably too good to be true
