Daytona C 116500 2017 price increase?

My personal opinion that 116500 for $12400 is under price. When i show the release photo i thought the price will be over $15000. Do you think the price will be different by next year?

It's SS. No, I think any more premium is paying for fluff.

I have inside information that the price will increase by 50% WEF 1st April 2017 and even if you agree to the increase, you have to hand over your wife to the AD for a period of at least two weeks.

Trust me, this is true.

I think it'll keep the same. They might increase it a little bit but just for inflation or parity but not for demand.

Several AD's I've spoken with think it is coming for the Daytona C at least. Not that they know but their guess is more educated than mine

If I handed over my wife for two weeks, they'd pay ME to take her and the watch off their hands.

Trust me, this is true.

Price increases will eventually happen.. as they have continually increased from inception of the brand.

Could I borrow her for a year, I could make a fortune and end up with a world class Rolex collection.

I would agree, compared to other brands this watch is underpriced.

I thought the ceramic Daytona would be priced higher, but don't think they will increase it now.

Last increase in the US was in 2012 if i remember correctly. 2015 saw a decrease across the board for many brands... except Roelx. They will certain raise prices. It's only a matter of time. Until then, and after then buy right.

Well IMHO it's overpriced now and why would you think it would be over $15000 it's a 16 year old Daytona with a push on slither of ceramic bezel. And slightly different dials both they can make hundreds at a time so hardly a complete new engineered watch.

Let the speculation begin. Highly unlikely there will be a price increase other than re-sales of NIB that are acquired.

It shouldn't be 15k. The upgrades over the previous model are purely aesthetic. Don't give them any ideas lol.

I say no increase unless across the board for all watches. This is the same watch with just a ceramic bezel and different dial.
