depends on your location & right timing, Tourneau, Ben Bridges in the bay area still have a waiting list.

That is because last time I was in a Tourneau they wanted $16,000 for a SS Daytona and I believe it was used.

Rolex USA does not allow above MSRP. But they seem to play by a different set of rules.

They do. Just gotta find the right ones. But you are right, they really are not supposed to per Rolex USA.

Was that recent? That is an insane amount for an SS Daytona, I wonder who would pay that?

Hmmm..... that could depend on where you live. The image below might be a bit hard to read, but its the last page of the 2009 Rolex Canada price list. The last sentence says "The retail prices are suggestions only, jewelers may sell for less"

YMMV

capote · 26 February 2012, 11:06 PM

I've seen both black and white dial SS in the window display of my local AD. They sat there for weeks. It seems like the people who actually own a Daytona gets offended in larger extent when someone here point out the fact that they are available.

I could get a Daytona shipped in because I previously purchased a different Rolex; someone off the street can't.

This is not unlike the way many Ferrari dealers will not sell you a new car unless you've made a previous purchase from them. (Seriously.)

this doesent even make sense?

" ferrari will not sell you a new car unless you've made a previous purchase from them"

my question is than how does one make the 1st purchase to get the 2nd purchase?

travisb · 26 February 2012, 11:12 PM

Never had a problem tracking one down at an AD locally.

I've never heard of this before but I'm guessing they have you buy pre owned first before new. Not sure just guessing.

Rookhawk · 27 February 2012, 12:46 AM

Here in Chicago you can find them at ADs if you have the right influence. They are usually sitting in the back room for their VIP customers that have bought a lot of watches from them.

If anyone wants to pay me $100, I'll create the introduction to the right salesperson at an Illinois based AD so you can walk out today (at retail) with your brand new SS Daytona. (the one they have as of 2/25 is white dial and not on display)

Like To Watch · 27 February 2012, 01:31 AM

[QUOTE=KingTafari;3094213][CENTER]I've been seeing this posted for a while.. are people having that much of a problem finding Daytonas?

Whenever I need one I can find it within a day or so

Not in Australia. I have never seen one at an AD.

zeuloa · 1 March 2012, 07:32 AM

Nearby AD has a white dial in stock if anyone is interested. PM for AD name.

Hopefully, they won't.

grossmont · 1 March 2012, 08:02 AM

6 years ago when I got my two tone tahitian dial daytona, I had my name on several lists to buy a SS black dial. They were selling for 6k MSRP back then and the used market was asking 10k for them. I was being told that their waiting lists was more than 1 year long and they only put you on the top of the lists if you buy over 100k in jewelry from them.
I hear that this demand has changed now, but I am no longer in the market for one. Maybe the myth still holds.

impalass · 1 March 2012, 08:07 AM

Nov. 2011 I just walked into a new to me AD and asked if a SS Daytona was available. Was told they just received one, a black face, my favourite, for list price (firm) plus tax.

I was told the people on the waiting list wanted the white face only. In my excitement I purcased my grail and only later found out I could have done a little bit better in the Toronto area, not a biggie and I'm happy never the less.

IMHO the SS Daytona is a masterpiece and they are easy to find these days.

P.S. This particular AD stated that their store was one of the top three Rolex dealers in the region and only averaged four SS Daytonas a year, never knowing weather a white or black face would come in.

moonlightdr · 1 March 2012, 08:29 AM

Is it the same for the Uk...?

I spent a few years looking into to it and trying to track a SS black down determined to beat the system - I wasn't ready to pay a premium on top of Retail for a new one or lots for a second hand... I didn't beat the system all that happened was retail price went from £4800 to £7500....!

I put my deposit down for a Black SS in Feb 2011 at my local AD, got a call about five months later saying do you still want one... or would you consider white... I said I wanted black - SS Black finally arrived in late October 2011 same year.... I was also told I was one of the last customers they have taken a deposit from as they weren't going to do that any longer...

I either got one at the top of the market or in a few years a new SS will be retailing at £10,000

Who knows......!

toph · 1 March 2012, 08:45 AM

Daytona's are available from grey dealers and online very easily. Finding one in the UK or EU or Australia at an AD is nigh on impossible. Please know what you are saying

Yep, all this talk of daytonas easy to find is not true at all, at least for the UK. I can guarantee that there will be NO daytonas (SS) in any AD window in the UK if you searched every single one now.

Now whether they have them in their SAFE is another matter, but only VIPs or regular customers get them.

Absolutely, and!!!!! why? if people are going into ADs enquiring about availibilty, are they not buying them. ( I wouldn't ask about a; lets say DeepSea, if i had no intention of buying one. ) I have yet to see one in any, and i mean any ADs window, in any country i have visited, and without being too smart, thats a lot of Countries.

I paid an arm and a leg plus haggled over an ear. It was kept in the safe, TT and gold Daytonas in the window.

List price Nov. 2011 when I bought mine (SS) $11,500. Canadian.

RAZZELL · 2 March 2012, 02:47 AM

Never seen one in a window in the UK, but have seen two-tone, gold etc. The worst thing I ever did was flipping a black dial one for £1k profit.

BTW, how much is a used Daytona is the USA?

Walked passed a shop in London today and a s/s white dial was up for £7k.

Used? As it's £7490 otherwise.

Oh and as other UK members have said finding one in an AD window here is nigh on impossible, i have only ever seen one and i think that was just luck and the fact in was first thing in the morning as it was unsuprisingly gone by early afternoon,

That's exactly it; you must purchase one or more used Ferraris from most dealers before they will sell you a new one.

Many ADs will only sell you an SS Daytona if you're a previous customer of theirs (though they'll be happy to sell you a TT or white gold one.)

general · 2 March 2012, 09:45 AM

Here in Los Angeles, you will not see a single SS Daytona in the display. They will not sell it to you even if you walked in and asked. But they have TT and gold ones all the time.

That's what we used to call "Rooking" someone or "A Rook" when we were kids, Rookhawk.
