Daytona 116515

Hi guys just to check a local Ad offer 116515 at $31800 is it worth ?

Sorry, information not accurate.
The 116520 SS Black dial was purchased in March 2012. Box opened not worn by seller.
So is sgd14.5k still reasonable?
So I be better off getting a new piece?

Is that true? If it's true, then it will be a breaking news. 116520 hasn't been discounted since! Even during bad time in 2009, it was asking about $500 more from retailed price. Even since, the premiums had gone up about $1k or $1k plus.

Daytona discount is limited and depends on which SA one get it from.

did not know that daytona sold by Singapore AD got discount.

the discount is after marked up or RRP then give discount? if it is RRP then give discount, please advise me which Singapore AD.

thank you.

The last i see, the Daytona from a Singapore AD is about $16k after discounts.

Daytona is a good model, uses 4130 in house movements and 116520 is the only sports model (if I'm not wrong) that commands a premium since it's launched, though the premiums had softened over the last free years. It's beautiful though the current model may be replaced with ceramic bezel in future. Already seen in rose gold case. Nonetheless it's still a great model to get if you can afford.

Price is reasonable as Rolex just increased the prices in June. I think the current retailed price for 116520 is more than $16k, not sure about 116509 (should be at least $42k). With premium it may be selling about $17k. But just 1 comment (no offence to seller); my friend just got a white piece from Macau last month for about $14k. It may be cheap, but the hassle, traveling etc may not suit you. Moreover it may be an empty trip.

Lastly, no worries with warranty. Make sure the warranty card is together with the purchase. You will need to bring it to service center if you send your watch for repair etc within 2 years from date of purchase. And since it's from someone I suggest to send the watch for verification, at least a piece of mind, unless you are able to tell the difference. My 2 cents of opinion. Good luck for your 1st Rolex and welcome to the club!

1st post: Advice on buying a Rolex Daytona

Hi,

This is my 1st post here. Never thought that I would be thinking of getting a Rolex but here I am thinking of one.
I am looking at 116520 and 116509. Does anyone know the current pricing in AD (Singapore).

Also I have been offered a SS Black dial 116520, bought early this year but unopened as yet. Is SGD14500 a good price? Any issue with the warranty since it has been bought but might not have been sent yet?

Would need all the advice I can get?

Thanx!!!

i like the black...

[skydweller_sg]

if its full gold bracelet, nice MOP and full set boxes and papers, sgd25k is a fair deal

[skydweller_sg]

only in certain parts of the world, esp asia
ang mohs seem to prefer white

I believe the black dial has a higher demand and thus the higher resale value.
