Same here. The second my AD calls, if they ever call because I am sure they are all going out the back door, mine will be flipped. This is nuts and plain and simple that watch isn’t worth $30k+ to me so I will flip mine for dumb money.

As always, a thoroughly laughable read!
For anyone that believes the 116500 is the most overhyped Rolex, suggest you take a look at the 6263. Technically an inferior watch, selling for twice what the 116500 is selling for. If people really want to bash on about overhyped watches, let’s chat vintage shall we? Especially the ones with blemishes, sorry, patina! Let’s be frank, this is not about hype, it’s about snobbery. The 116500 is worn/promoted by celebrities on social media, how dare they! They aren’t WIS, and anyone buying one just wants to show how wealthy or connected they are. Shameful. The 6263 though is worn by WIS and discussed intelligently on forums, this is much more acceptable as they are good people. Jeeez. It’s the same for the folk that claim Rolex is now just about money, and look fondly on the time 30 years ago when Rolex was affordable, not a show of wealth, and were real tool watches. What total nonsense!!! The reason Rolex is so popular today, is because those of us growing up 30 years ago saw Rolex as a sign of success, we’ve spent our lives aspiring to one. They certainly weren’t affordable, for most growing up in the UK in the 70’s and 80’s, paying tv rental was a stretch, as was putting food on the table! And the tool watch thing, again, what nonsense. They are better quality and therefore better tool watches now (in the main), it’s just that technology advancement means there are now better options. So nothing has really changed. This forum i suspect has changed as it was probably an agenda for genuine watch enthusiasts back in the day, whereas now forums are frequent by people with all sorts of motives. But this change is not necessarily representative of the real world. I don’t have a 116500 and I’d love a vintage watch, so no axe to grind, but what a load of nonsense.

The house up the street from me went on a 9 day bidding war and the price went up by 100K.
Not sure watches even matter

I’ll be honest. If I had a Daytona I bought at MSRP I would sell it without hesitation if I could get 30k for it. Would buy a sub with the profits and pocket the change.
It’s still just a watch and the message from Rolex themselves is “don’t pay a cent over $13,150 + tax for this” I like the Daytona a lot. But if fools want to pay more than double for it then let them I say |

If I got one at MSRP I would have sold it by now. It way over hyped and I’ll take the profits and buy the white gold blue Daytona which I think is way better.

If people are REALLY in this game to make $$$ well they should be cashing out and putting into other investment classes. Who cares about $10k over 6-12 months when you can grow your net worth by $50k every single month. I was reading several sources and they all say the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore pretty much all the major cities Real Estate is going bonkers. Seriously I don't know why anyone is playing the watch game. The money we are talking is tiny tiny money especially when your talking about a single SS watch. You'd need to be dealing in huge volume for it to even matter |

Lots of people buying them, but less are really wearing them. Safe queens. Just the other day I played golf with a pal who isn't into watches. He told me he bought a two Daytonas and put them in his safe for his two sons. They're 8 and 10. Thanks Dad!

My story of buying a 116500LN was all because of 6263. It was back in 2014 when I first joined this forum and I've had my first Rolex (116300 DJII) for 2 years, I was thinking about acquiring a second Rolex. At that time the 6263 (pictured below) really caught my eye and I just found it aesthetically beautiful. But back then it was going for around $35-40K, which was way too much for me, yet at the time none of the modern Daytona spoke to me at all. Then lo and behold in 2016 the 116500LN came out, and I just found it so strikingly resembles the 6263; on top of that it's got all of the modern upgrades. It ain't the original but it's definitely the closest thing there is. Without a second thought it instantly became a must-have for me. It was also then I was first schooled in the "waiting list" & "bundle" culture. Went straight to the grey and got it. For me, the modern 126710BLRO works in similar way; it's just an iconic, classic Rolex design that is reintroduced with all the modern Rolex specifications, and for the same reason a must-have for me.

Even better the banks are willing to let you buy with leverage (20% cash to control 100% movement on the underlying asset). Seems too good to be true.

It isn't only SS Daytona that has gone up, all PM models have gone up too.
All AP and PP sport models have gone up very fast too. It seems like the market price of these timepieces tie with the stock market, correction is coming soon.

New SS Daytonas are in the mid $30k??? Insane!

I hope so but not necessarily. The economy coming out of lockdowns coupled with massive stimulus could go full Weimar sending values to the moon when priced in worthless dollars. Bank of America CIO had a good write up about this recently though they refrained from using the W word.

Although crazy , I can see a silly scenario where by 2023 it could be $50k. Given the 60th anniversary of the Daytona in 2023, I'm sure there will be massive speculation on:
We will probably get new Platona/PM in 2023 for 60th bday though. Personally, I think many watches are over-valued (Rolex, AP, Patek) and I couldn't really care too much either way where the market lands. These are really just big boy toys to pass the time (no pun intended) |

If it's not worth 30k, you'll certainly be flipping it for what you think it's actually worth, right?

Picking up a 116520 in the low 20s seems like a steal now.

6263 Big Red (black dial) is a grail watch of mine which is why I got the black dial 116500LN. But at that price point I would rather get a brand new 5172G and call it a day. If I were to ever get a 6263 Big Red the moment it leaves the shop the value will probably drop by 20k because it’s going back to Rolex for a full servicing and probably a service dial to give it a brand new feel.

It's on my wish list with AD. Secondary market prices are nuts. I'm only willing to pay msrp.
