Daytona`s look great.

I have a Steel/White Gold Datejust that hasn`t been off my wrist for 5 yrs and its never missed a beat.

Agree with Mikem, you can't go wrong with a Daytona it's a fantastic watch

I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago.

SHOW OFF!!

Just kidding. nice watch.

Speedtrap · 11-23-2008, 10:53 AM

I love them and wanted them for so long but I do not want to pay over list, as they go for such a premium now...

scooba0010 · 11-23-2008, 12:10 PM

In London they have big premiums ,But i think now there are a few kicking around at sensible prices like £500 over list .The last one i bought in october 05 cost £3670 i just bought this at £5700 they have increased by £2k in 3 years ,

I sold my 3 year old for £5500 decent profit but still didnt keep up with the price rises by Rolex but mine was due a service at approx £200 so i think i done alright

My advise would be if you want one buy it because the waiting lists have been full for years like 5 to 7 years mainly by dealers getting there names down to make a few pounds .I have bought as many as i can since 2000 and always sold at a profit in 2004 i bought 3 at list the two i sold paid for my third one there is always someone willing to pay over list to beat the wait but i have noticed recently the premiums are getting tighter .I dont think its the current economic turn down more to do with the two price increases in the last 8 months around 22%

Steve A · 11-23-2008, 12:31 PM

of all the Rolex range i think the Daytona is the one to have congrats.

Im more of a Panerai man myself though

scooba0010 · 11-23-2008, 12:45 PM

I love panerai as well just havent bought one at present

alcook · 11-23-2008, 01:06 PM

I'm just about to enquire about selling my 2003 Omega Speedmaster to raise cash for a nice set of Proac Speakers.... maybe the time isn't right?

jjbirch · 11-23-2008, 01:44 PM

+1 with much of what people say Daytona is one of the best watches out there i have one in a safe at a bank for a rainy day, allways holds money,i think rolex submariner's are the one watches that you can get hold of and still holds good money i had one for my 18th birthday. they was £3200 in 2001 now £4.5k now list price

dxb335d · 11-23-2008, 03:24 PM

Nice watch mate, one day i want to start collecting them.

willhollin · 11-23-2008, 03:27 PM

I prefer digital watches.

dxb335d · 11-23-2008, 03:33 PM

Oh the fun I had with mine when I was a lad. European cup, hundreds watching on large screen TV outdoors... rather amusing how Spanish TV show porn on normal terrestrial TV early nighttime..

I am a huge Rolex fan!

I agree, I have had two submariners (I wonder why?

) A steel date submariner which I bought in 1997 for £2100, I traded it in last year for a bi-metallic gold and steel date sub - i got £1700 allowance on the steel watch.

I love my watch, I don't particularly like the Daytona - too fussy for me. I just noticed that the price of mine is now £5970, I 'only' paid £4250 for mine this time last year, I guess it might have something to do with precious metal prices?

Mine...

I bought Mrs G a diamond set dial datejust last xmas as I had had enough grief about me having a Rolex!! Hers.....

jjbirch · 11-24-2008, 09:26 AM

thats the same watch i had peter the one in blue, when i got it it never had the gold on the clasp,now they do, my brother has the one with the grey face, when gems in the dail, which looks nice

You can mock, but you never know when you'll need to add stuff up.

I'm thinking of selling my 'swatch' and getting one of these bad boys. Do you reckon I should go for the black or white:

I dont know a lot about watches, but I recently traded my Seconda in for a Zeon. It only cost £4.27 to trade up.

Lovely watches you all have there.

Any Breitling owners out there?
