Current Daytona SS Pricing

[seiko.citizen]

What almost? it is!

perth preowned dealer claim more worth it to avoid the TT if going for future resale

most AD have stocks for the daytona, it is just that they put it away, they only part with it when the price is right for them.

the daytona is all hype and worse still they are people willing to pay silly premiums to own that watch

most AD have stocks for the daytona, it is just that they put it away, they only part with it when the price is right for them.

take for example, the discontinued GMT Master II, some people pay 2-3k above list is understandable to a certain extend. however for the daytona, the list is about 13k and selling @ another 4k above premium? i would not pay for it.

dont get me wrong, i would still like to own a daytona but not @ this kind of premium price. it is ridiculous to me, as for 18k, there are alot of options out there to consider such as a breguet flyback type XXI, a possible previous version of GO perpetual calendar, a explorer II + GMT Master IIc + cash left

however, if you truly love to own one, just close your eyes and get one. prices have gone up by an average of at at least 1k per year locally.

Hi dsdfan99
That for sure not all movie stars wear Rolexes, but most have at least one.
I work in Hollywood visual effect movies. My last project I worked on is a Brad Pitt up coming movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for more that a year ....

If you had bought Daytona five years ago, it would not have the special Parachrom Bleu hairspring that is in the Daytona you just bought.[/QUOTE]

That is the plus of getting after 2005 for the blue hairspring.

... the SS daytona still goes to these Hollywood stars and rich orange county people.
.

Not all movie stars wear Rolexes. Despite their great wealth, George Clooney wears Omega and Brad Pitt wears Tag Heuer.

I wish I buy it 5 years ago. .

Wah.. u still get 3 to choose.. the one i buy from... this is the only one..either u take it or have to wait

very rare to find a local AD in sg that priced both white and black face @ the same price.

I think so too.... but he put out at least 3 SS daytona in front of me to pick. I ask him how many of these are in your pocket, he smiles and never answer.

I love playing mind game with these sale people but at the end hard cash always wins and I always remind them a profit is always a profit. Of couse you can ask me to go somewhere else or hong kong to look for that prices.

Cash is cash you don't wait end of the month to get the credit and don't have to pay the credit card company. I told him this is the cash for the two watches and keep the cash and the deal is done in 10 min and he at least make 8k for the two watches ... you don't have to be a smart man or A star to understand that.

I think black and white is not that much different now as keep the money or wait for the money.

almost cheaper to buy TT over SS daytona

That's why I bought the SS Daytona 1st, so when buying TT will not be considering for so long....

almost cheaper to buy TT over SS daytona

What almost? it is!

You are 2% poorer only if you got a 5% pay increase this year... if your pay remains same this year, you are 7% poorer!

I fully agreed on Finn's statement.

"Saving during good years and buying at bad times ... its going to be the buyer market for the next few years."

The bank interest is dirt low now, it does not cancell off the inflation. Economic growth for Singapore is 4% to 5%, but inflation is 7%, we 2% poorler

Hi

I brought my white SS daytona at 17k, a month ago in Singapore AD.
the black and white are both at 17k, but I pick the white.

black or white ss daytona both 17k

Hi

I brought my white SS daytona at 17k, a month ago in Singapore AD.
the black and white are both at 17k, but I pick the white. I got the ok deal because I bought another Rolex for 20% below retail price and paid all cash on the spot.

I was first going for the black dial as I know it is about US$500 more for resell ...but when I went in the shop and compare both I prefer the white over the black. I'm not planing to sell any of my Rolex and better go for what I like than what others think. My friends are all laughing at me that I like Rolex ( oldman watch) and .... why don't I get panerai, cartier or AP. But others don't pay for my watch and they can like all they want but I'm getting what I like will my own dollars.

It still impossible to get the SS daytona in the US from AD, they only keep for their top customer. I'm in La and moving to OC this week and there are too many rich people and poor.... even the economy is that bad ... the SS daytona still goes to these Hollywood stars and rich orange county people.

If you know about the rarest of the SS daytona, you want one. I wish I buy it 5 years ago. My advice is, if you can afford the price and want one just get it. If that is what you make for a month then you can easily afford it or you have some ah gong money left behind

It's not a good thing, buying something that you can't afford as we all know the economy is going bad and a lot of young Singaporeans live beyond their means these days.

Saving during good years and buying at bad times ... its going to be the buyer market for the next few years.
