As a matter of fact, they do. I saw one in Las Vegas about 2 weeks ago. I happened to be looking for the meteorite Daytona, and the salesman pulled out the meteorite DD. I think it was Pt, but it might have been WG. In either case, it was a good looking piece. The price he quoted me was less than value of the YG diamond dial DD I was wearing at the time. Since he wouldn't give me any money in trade, I gave him back the meteorite.

the rolex chronographs of the 40's/50's are my favorite by far

JJ Irani · 17 July 2005, 05:09 AM

That is one gorgeous looking mother, Andy. Must be worth a bomb today.

Other than that one I really like the Exp1 and the 116509 in blk, but I doubt I would ever buy the WG Daytona simply because it is way too extravagant.

Hey Roger, your AD is quite precise!! In the above you mentioned 8 mo and that was pretty close...right?

Roger on that one, Roger!!

RogerF · 22 April 2006, 05:11 PM

Gotta love my AD, I know Kingblackbolt loves them now, since they did the opposite of an upsell for his GFs watch (she wanted TT, but the owners Bro in law told her that SS is better for the younger generation and it holds value better) and also they stay open later for us.

I would be quite happy with an Explorer I, which I wouldn't sell...ever.

Launch Mini · 24 April 2006, 12:12 PM

I saw a White Gold Daytona, meteorite dial with a black leather strap today.
Was quite nice, But they store wanted $30,000 Cdn.
Is this a decent price for this watch??
It was some "old stock" La Swiss brought out.

diablojota · 24 April 2006, 12:39 PM

I want the leopard Daytona!

Not really. Just wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get.

Last time I saw a lightning bolt Milguass at auction, the reserve was somewhere around US$30,000! Never did find what it went for.

RobDad · 25 April 2006, 02:24 AM

A mint 5512 or 5513, found at the back of a jewellers safe and sold accidentally as a new 14060M!

Lightning Bolt Milgauss
Red Dial Daytona, or pretty much any vintage Daytona

Looks like we have some similar tastes in watches Johnny

JJ Irani · 25 April 2006, 09:08 AM

My favourite Rolex that I don't own? Definitely this one...unaffordable and one I can only dream about...

Seriously though, what I really would like to have is:
DD with champagne dial (vintage 1997-present)
or
A Prince like the one in my avatar.

Now, is that so much to ask???

BTW, that's a great gold YM, JJ. And is that a MOP dial? Sweeeeet!!!

Yes, Allan, that is the Black Tahitian MOP dial. Although it's called BLACK, it does appear brown in certain light. I've seen the same dial on a TT YM at Mansor's....absolutely gorgeous!!

I LOVE IT!!! Agree that it is definitely beautiful. Bet the price is stratospherical (coined word), eh?
