How many Daytona owners here?

I had my first Daytona black SS in 2006.
It was $17,500 brand new and pretty tough to get.
I didnt know anyone else wearing one and it was hard to spot one.


Today, its a dime a dozen, i hardly even wear mine now. Maybe once a week.
Sigh.....

Bro, you have been wearing your Goldies all these while lah. How to wear the daytona? Hehe

Well the 17k was quoted to me at THG while another branch quoted 16.5k. White dial is cheaper at retail 15.56k. Think I will hunt for a preowned..just cannot stomach buying anything at retail or above retail...

Don't mind asking which boutique quote u? I encounter that oso when I go taka boutique was quoted 17k n tangs one 16.5k but ending up I grab mine from orchard central at 16k. Is either they don't have a standard quotation or the sa not being honest due to the commission I guess. Black dial is definitely much expensive then white maybe due to demand. So if u want maybe can try out at orchard central there.

17k was pretty steep. Cos I got at THG at 16k. Retail was 15650 they tends to sell a little higher then retail n daytona hardly have discount too. Daytona most THG I went at town area usually is outta stock especially black dial. Black is slightly expensive then white dial.

Many many years ago, it was quite tough to get one at the AD.

THG quoted $18,500
5 yr Preowned was $16,500
I finally got mine from Watch Palace at $17,800

Nowadays its fairly common. $16k+ is pretty standard

Woah so the price quoted refers to current or past yrs? If is current I'm surprise it raises so much cos I just bought my daytona black ss in Feb at THG.

Was looking at a black daytona in stainless steel and was quoted 17k for it...that's above retail right?

I get this feeling that ADs are artificially forcing the price up? Seldom see black SS Daytonas being displayed but when ask they always tell me."let me check if we have any in stock" then will come out and say "oh i happen to have one in the safe...just arrived today etc or it's reserved but if you can pay $$ now i can sell it to you" I mean are Daytonas really that hot and in short supply? Afterall Rolex makes a million watches a year?
