White gold daytona

[m12kop]

How much should i be looking to pay for a 8 month old white gold daytona, it's at a rolex dealer. do they loose much money?

Every dealer I've asked for a SS Daytona has always said: "No, can't get them, but we've got a white gold one if you like"!

So, be looking for a hefty discount, or tell them you'll go next door and haggle. Eventually a dealer will take a 'deal'. I'd start at 15% and take no less than 7.5% - 10% discount.

Bit like that horrible green Anniversary Sub - every dealer I spoke to in the 'States had one and would offer me a discount.



Doh! ETA that I should have read your post about it being 8 months old. I'd be looking for a SERIOUS discount!

They are asking for 10,000?!

Too much. Be aware that like many gold watches they are more prone to scatching than the SS ones.......

I'm aware of a VMAXer who had one and sold it to buy a SS for precisely this reason.

get both!

Lovely watch. Why bother with a SS Daytona when you can have a WG one on a strap. Get the MOP face, superb. Should be able to get these for £6-7K.

I just sold my white gold Daytona for exactly the reason Daz mentioned. It looked great on but look the wrong way and it will scratch. They start to look pikey quite quickly and hence their value drops like a stone. As a guide I paid £12300 in Italy just over a year ago and sold it in almost perfect condition for 8.5k recently.

Next watch will be SS regardless of make.

Got my name down for a ss but its taking for ever, been four years nearly, they called me the otherday to see what colour dial i would prefer but i'm not thinking it's on it's way just yet!
