Just seen a couple of these used, at Michael Matthews in Bournemouth
never thought I'd like these but I do!
now, what shall I sell....
Whilst deliberating about the Everose YM I'm now turning my attention towards the ceramic Chocolate dial Everose Daytona instead, a few thousand more but having tried one on yesterday wears a little better IMHO compared to the YM which felt a little small. Anyone out there tried one of these?

I didn't think I would like it either until I tried it on, the contrast on the sub dials is poor and the Arabic numbers aren't luminous but it does look stunning. I've just checked the Michael Matthews website and they are selling it for 15k.... less that one some Grey market dealers are charging for the steel ceramic Daytona which when you consider it retails at over twice the price is quite interesting.

Alanski has one, I am very jealous.
Have to agree it looks stunning and has some weight to it, but I thought it wore tiny on my wrist, even against the YM.
Shop around you can get pre loved at a big reduction from rrp
Ive had one on for a month or two and its a very nice watch, you might find the dial a little difficult to read but to be honest I don't wear a watch to see the time!
Never owned one, but a friend of mine has one which I've tried and it's a glorious thing. The rose gold with the chocolate dial is almost a perfect combination.

From the title this sounded quite unpromising in the looks department. Appears fabulous in the images below though.
That is a fabulous looking watch
Absolutely Stunning
Commercially, one of the better gold models. You'll need to buy a strap every few years. Like all gold models you are likely to lose a few thousand, but there are worse depreciators and as always it's a case of buying well in the first instance.
Unworn will be circa £17,900 which pushes even a mint pre-owned one (and there aren't too many around) realistically down to something like £15k at most.

I wear mine on a black rubber b which I think gives it a slightly more modern look...
Yeah great watch . Real eye catching pretty unique piece
Wears really nice and weight is nice too.
Isn't as too in ya face as a full bracelet version
The chocolate dial with the ceramic numbers is the one to buy
Quite like the pic but never seen one in the flesh. What I don't like is the interface between the strap and the watch - looks wrong to me. I prefer a strap to go all the way to the case without end links.
I'm shocked. I don't like the Daytona nor gold sports watches, but along with the Everose YM, I really like this. Must be getting old!

I really like this! But how can there be all those used models for sale - this is the new ceramic model, no?
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
I have just been offered a new one of these for £18,500 by a high street AD. Sounds a pretty good deal, but views appreciated. Offer is on the table for this afternoon only!
£21,050 is list RRP but you can source unworn watches in stickers from Europe - heck, even with swing-tags - for under £18k if you look.
If the AD experience (whatever that is) is important to you, at least try to haggle him a bit further, maybe even using the European watches here in the UK as leverage.
Personally the point at which any salesperson tries to get me to sign up to something "because this deal ends today" comes just before I smile and walk away. It's a desperate sales technique whether it's double glazing, cars or watches.
Perhaps tell him that you'll offer £18,000 on a debit card --- but your offer is only open for the same length of time as his was.

Thanks very much, H. To confess, I sort of brought the deadline on myself by telling him that I am returning to France tomorrow! His best price initially was £18,995. I think I would be happy at £18,500 but a little extra is always worth a try😉.
Love the dials on these, seen one a while ago and fell in love with it.
Might take a bit more saving until I can get one yet but the price seems fair.
What a great watch. Lovely weight. Beautiful dial. I did not quite get to the deal I wanted, so the watch went back in the safe so that we can re-engage with the decision-maker next week, when I am back in the UK. Do not tell them though. I absolutely love the watch.❤️
Probably why the dealer wants to get rid of the remaining alligator stock.
The new clasp fits the Oysterflex but not the alligator. So better to buy the new version with oysterflex, and then just modify a hirsch strap or use a regular pin buckle if you want alligator strap on it...
Tried one on last week. Sometimes I can find rose gold too showy but with the alligator strap it was actually quite understated. Crazy to think you could nearly flip a steel Daytona for one of these.
I think I agree, but not seen it on rubber yet (and should bear in mind comment below on the clasp). Liked it when I tried it on, but also remember looking at it on iconic early last year at around £13.5k - need a time machine!!
I can only see rubber on the Rolex website so think it is discontinued, so should put you in a good negotiating position.
Prefer the black dial personally. Its dial is much more legible and rarer! True panda and the sub dials look better.

Imgur is probs the simplest

The endlinks dont attach to the strap, they're just covers kept in place with a springbar.
The oysterflex will fit the case fine, but it wont fit the clasp. So you need to buy the clasp separately, its the same as the Yachtmaster everose clasp and daytona everose bracelet also has it.
Love mine on a rubber b looks absolutely beautiful best looking rose gold one in my opinion to be the fair pictures do not do the watch justice!! They not over the top having it on the leather or rubber B as full gold bracelet I felt was too much for me. The dial is stunning if you want a watch to see the time at night do not bother its terrible to see the time at night.
I had the Ceramic White dial Daytona at over list and thought same as you Steve a few quid more rose old version so ended up with the rose gold one and not looked back lol
But wears really well for all occasions not to ostentatious being precious metal it is more understated than you initially would think before buying. I did see a stickered up one lightly worn on eBay for £16250 dealer too in Cheshire might be worth a look or drive. My mate was after one so I found that but he decided too much in the end and shivered.

While I love the choc dial, I thing the new white gold one is the best looking now, sophisticated looks ;-)

I saw one of these in Hong Kong last year for the equivalent of about £16k. I thought it looked amazing and would generally shy away from gold watches. I did consider buying it at the time and gave myself some time to think about it, When I went back to have another look it was gone.
Looks better than in the pictures in my view.
Much nicer in person than in the pics and incredibly comfortable on the wrist. I'm extremely tempted myself.
