I have a brand new SS DAYTONA black dial with the new version clasp 78590 and the warrenty is unsigned .

Is any one interested in buying proberbly one of the most collectable production watches made ?

[MEGA]

WOW. Not seen one of these "in the flesh" in a while how'd you get to the top of the waiting list fella?

If only I had a house I could re-mortgage..

[scooba0010]

I have my name down everywhere i can ,I rekon i have had about 12 plus in the last 8 years and another one next month .

best offer so far £6670 .

TBH i have a good relationship with my Rolex AD and if he gets a client mess him around he knows i will buy it the same day

[Dr.Crap]

That's not a bad price for no wait. Good luck with the sale

What's the 2009 RRP? I heard it went up earlier in the year

It's amazing how hard this watch is to get hold of in the western hemisphere compared to the east

[scooba0010]

£6170 , I was advised of a price increase in the near future .since nov 05 they have gone up from £3670 to £4000 to £4800 to £5450 to £5760 and now £6170 and a increase of another 10% this summer, I think its shocking but all the time we pay they will do it

I know your going to call me all the stupid names under the sun... but I got ripped off on e-bay, my fault really, bought a fake Daytona for 5k sterling
I was sooooo foooked off I went and bought a white gold Daytona with leather strap. It looks FAB but the strap ain't water proof . So all in all 14k on watches in the pat 3 years means I would love to buy it but can't bend "Her in doors" arm
Good luck with the sale

surely buying something for that price on ebay you had protection, and could claim back?

I was living & working in the Caribbean making shed loads of cash and got too eager. Basically I put in a bid but was piped at the post. The seller then contacted me saying the winning bid had dropped out and that the watch was still for sale. So like a cupid stunt I took the bate and the rest as they say is HISTORY. Oh I still have the Fake Daytona, but I can not bring myself to wear it, only because I have the real thing and I hate fake Rolex's

As a matter of interest, was it immediately obvious it was a fake? Is it still a reasonable quality watch or a twenty-dollar Thailand piece of crap?

[MEGA]

LOL, if its indistinguishable without taking the back plate off I might be interested to buy the fake off you, PM me

The watch is a near perfect copy, the face is very good too. I was living in the Caribbean at the time and kept phoning my Dad to see if it had the stop watch function. That was when I knew, without seeing it, it was a fake The picture on the sellers site was an actual Rolex Daytona and the price was £4,000 to buy. I assumed, foolishly, it was real.

What a nightmare. Leaving all the morals of counterfeit watches aside, is the movement in the watch any good? Not a superlative chronometer, obviously, but I hear some fakes actually contain a very good movement (sometimes Swiss) and others contain Far East crap.

It gains about 5 mins per day so it is possible a good swiss movement

do mean 5 seconds a day?

If it makes you feel any better I have 2 SS daytonas. One I use everyday and one that has never been out of the box.

Times got hard when the market crashed last year so I sold it to a local dealer and I somehow lost the cash the next day. No idea how but I think it was stolen from my flat by the cleaner but I have no proof.

Is that the one with WG strap? I was offered one 3 years ago (one of the first) but having spent £10,000 on a leather strapped one I couldn't quite afford it
I also fount out after buying that you can not retro fit the WG strap to my WG Daytona, different strap fittings

[Czech335]

no it was the white gold on bracelet with meteorite dial

[scooba0010]

There is a guy called steve on Rolexforums.com .

He has been trying to sell one for £12k for about six weeks and just moved it to £11500 no offers
