I prefer the blue dial to be honest.
Just based on production numbers alone, it's not the new 5711, just another watch over retail lol.

I have a 116505 and rarely wear it because of the bling factor and am considering switching to a WG daytona or smurf so I can fly under the radar so to speak. |

Agree. I think some of these buyers are hoping to acquire this piece thinking it will be some sort of investment in the future.

Its a beautiful watch for sure... but with the current climate of over hype and plentiful liquidity in the market, I am afraid too much speculations are being put into most of desirable Rolexes.

JM thought both the green dial and the blue dial Daytona were both overlooked when first released. I have seen the WG blue dial available below retail, green dial price going crazy.

While I think some rolex references will always hold value as they have in the past, something is like this is the definition of a bubble IMO. People paying so much for speculative value based on the flavor of the month comment made by some celebrity.
In 20 years we might look back and say "who thought it was a good idea to put yellow gold and green together, yuck!"

Eddie was trying to sell me BNIB for $56,500. But that seems to be the going rate for sellers that actually have a brand new one in stock. It is climbing FAST the past week even. Most of the listings online are out of stock/sold so there is an illusion that it is available. I like the blue dial too, just something about these two I love. |

I don't think personally that is a wise decision, the value of this watch is not going down anytime soon. You have a better delta on watch if you trade or sell, likely make money. You'll lose the other way most likely. BUT , if you plan on never selling, I guess I don't see the harm in that... just do it with a 116508, not 116528 |

down anytime soon, just like people predicting 5711 bubble would burst, but it DID NOT... And it is more than bling, it is beauty, and truly a watch I would enjoy even if no one was looking at me or noticing it. Of course it is hard not to notice it, but it would not be the reason I would wear it. 116505 is nice, I would wear that!! I do like WG Daytona too, and both have a totally different look. |

The green dial was hard to get before John Mayer ever mentioned it.

I think John is right on this. I think both WG and YG 2016 models really highlight the Metal Bezel Daytona Look and Aesthetic and Bring it to a glorious conclusion. Yes there are still metal bezel Daytonas in PM, but I have a Feeling Rolex will at some point transition to CE and we'll really remember THOSE two and SS references... just my opinion. And I could not disagree more on the yellow gold and green being "yuck"... I don't see that at all. One of the most beautiful dials alongside the most classic Rolex yellow gold. Match made in heaven in my opinion. |

It's a nice watch, but not at the premiums currently being asked. Better options for less in my opinion.

I had a conversation about this watch a while back with my AD. Bottom line, it's not going to be an easy find going the AD route. For the foreseeable future.
Beautiful watch, though. |

The LVc has also normalised the green dial idea so not such an outlier any more.

I had a similar conversation with an AD just a few days before the JM Talking Watches episode aired. AD basically said it was near impossible to get. They had an VIP client they were trying to source one for and had given up after over a year of not seeing one. Again, this was before the JM christening.

Threads such as this from the impatient in combination with the unscrupulous business practices of the Chrono 24 outlets create the insanity we are now seeing.
The OP needs to find himself an AD, place an order and be patient. A fool and his $ will soon be separated. Anyone who thinks a mass produced item that CAN be had for msrp will continue to trade at 2x is a fool. Save your money -This bubble is not sustainable and will burst. These watches no matter how much we love them are not true rarities!! |

That is never the plan going in, but like with cars, I like variety.
But even if I kept it, I would be uneasy having an imposter, even if only a facelift. I would want the real deal, even if it is only on paper. And hey, don't judge, dial flipping is another form of flipping... |

So Hipsterdinkee interviews a celebrity who raves over watch that dealers couldn’t sell previously, and now it’s the most wondermous watch in the Rolex lineup ?
Hope he doesn’t jump off a cliff so the forum will have enough survivors to continue !

I see a lot of people hating on the green daytona. Like me, lots of people liked it before JM said anything. I personally couldnt afford it at that time. Now I do and now I want it. Whether somebody wants to pay msrp or pay more, why rain on their parade. If you hve the money to go over msrp more power to you and enjoy it with great health. Simple
