Reply With QuoteBefore I opened that I had £29k in my head. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t, but they’ve been over £20k for a long time.
With the new ones now nudging £35k some might say it’s still good value.
The priced of this surprised me, is this really the current value. I guessed it would go for around £16k or am I out of touch?

A customer of mine struggled a couple of years ago to get an offer over £10k for his Zenith movement bi-metal model. Insane where the steel ones are headed tbh.
I have a steel Daytona and whilst I paid a good premium amount for it at the time, I wouldn’t pay current prices. Much more interesting stuff at £20-30k. E.g. the below JLC for 25k brand new
I wouldn't pay that for the Daytona ,but plenty will The JlC is a nice watch ,but the issue many people have is that the JLC and similar will depreciate 50% very quickly and be difficult to sell on whereas the daytona will hold value if not increase

Yes, you are.Originally Posted by Mick P
£30k and it’s not even a tritium dial.
Not me.
Hmm ones without B and P are going for approx 22-23k. Seems like a full set is commanding a ridiculous premium….

B&P are easily forged so shouldn't add anything to the price, apparently.
B&P are indeed easily forged but it does add to the value because mugs are happy to pay a couple of grand over the odds for something that only cost a max of £100 to make, probably for an older model, less than £50.
Of course in their defence, they will resell on at a later date and will get their money back and more besides, thus perpetuating the con.
Didn't realise you enjoyed playing pigeon chess?

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
What utter tosh
I agree, the OP doesn’t. I’m sure he’ll be happy to explain yet again why you’re wrong.

Very good 😊
I've had to get mine re-valued and the insurance updated this year. They're actually selling for that money, rather than the 'Tiffany' OPs you see on Chrono for £30-40k
Same here. I bought mine years ago for £6500 and have had to keep upping the value on the home insurance.
It’s ridiculous really and in a strange way, at bit of a shame. I used to wear it quite often, then sent it for a full service and now I hardly ever El wear it cause it’s so valuable.
Some of the black face tritium dialed full sets command crazy prices these days. Like this one, up for a cool £76,537.

Don’t get me started on Patek Nautilus prices. They’re mind blowing now.
Any excuse to post a pic of mine.
You think £76k is steep for Mark 2 dial with 4 lines. Try a Mark 1 with porcelain dial for size:

There was supposedly less than 200 made in steel and these have been 3 figure watches for a number of years now.
12 months ago I sold my Mark 3 with inverted 6 and rarer bracelet for about £18k as I recall. Hey-ho cannot change the past.
I remember the one you had WR. It was a lovely one.
The world has truly gone mad.
And this is why I kick myself I didn’t buy the freshly RSC serviced zenith Daytona from Austin Kaye back in 2014 for £6750.
