Newbie, 1st post

I did some calcs based on threads elsewhere.

If I recall correctly, the SS Daytona is 146g, Au is 196g and the Pt is 286g. Can anyone confirm this?

Resolving this information for constant volume, the mechanism/non PM parts would be estimated at 45-50g.

That means approx 4.7oz of 18k Au (density adjusted) at GBP980/oz or GBP4600 of PM at market price

7.6oz Pt at GBP680/oz or GBP5200 of PM.

So looking at a new full Pt Daytona, knock off VAT and say a 10%discount it would be ball-park that an AD and Rolex have approx GBP30k to share between themselves.

Get drawn in to the hype and tripe on unobtainable SS Daytonas and "special relationship" BS, that buy buying PM Rolex's from ADs can help - I can easily see why...........You have just given the AD and Rolex an easy margin on effectively 6 SS Daytonas they did not have to build in one hit.
