If you can get an SS Daytona at retail seeing as this is your first Rolex purchase without having to even wait on a list, you should consider yourself very, very, very lucky.

I know this thread has already kinda moved on but my thoughts on ebay. I bought a SD on ebay. I checked into the guy who sold it, I called where he bought it. I did tons of homework. I got the watch, and I know in my gut it was a real watch. BUT, no one local could open it, since its a 4000 ft rated watch, and everyone wanted for me to send it out to get it checked out. Anyway, I always felt like "just incase what if the movement isnt real" I also felt like I was burned out of the entire going to the dealer and feeling like I was buying something nice. So I sent it back to the seller who was more then ok with me doing that.
Anyway....to me spending more even for a preowned was well worth it at a very classy dealer. I got more then just a watch I got a jewler. eBay has deals but I always had the icky feeling "hey where did you get your watch? ummmmmm (in a low voice....) eBay. I bought the preowned, then since I had the itch bought a new one a few weeks later. I woudl never of done that if I kept the ebay watch.

JJ Irani · 16 July 2006, 02:50 PM

That's a beauty, Steve.....congrats once again!!

TRD43 · 17 July 2006, 07:52 AM

Thanks! I cant stop looking at my wrist (literally).
I purchased my watch from Royal De Versailles in Toronto Ontario. I dealt with Angie Morton. I told her that I would be posting her information on here. I highly reccomend dealing with her.

Steve

Prince · 17 July 2006, 08:53 AM

Well, Steve. All I can say is "Good Job!!!"

That is a "cracker" of a Daytona, as JJ would say. I know you will continue to love it - I certainly love mine. Again, wear it in the best of health always.

mike · 17 July 2006, 09:24 AM

There are no bad pictures of that watch!

Congrats on a stunning find. Wear it in the very best of health!

TRD43 · 17 July 2006, 01:43 PM

Thanks for your kind words.

Does anyone know approx how many SS daytona watches are released every year?

Also, I know that many of you mentioned that the black dial is hard to read. I noticed that Rolex has actually changed the hands for the "Z" model when compared to the "D" model. The hands on the "Z" model are silver for the chrono/second hands and are black with a silver outline for hour/minute hands. You can see this from the pics above. Pictures of the "D' version show that the hands appear to be completely black.

Well, I'm a little late here, but CONGRATULATIONS, Steve

that is a beauty
