Probably in about 10 years. The MSRP will be above $20k.

Daytona will never drop to retail. Ever.

I'm now predicting the 12th of never... I've only ever seen the Daytona C in pics, never in the flesh but tbh its never really 'done it' for me to the point where I've thought 'got to have one' I appreciate its a nice watch and it may well be different if I actually did see one, but I certainly wouldn't be prepared to spend double over retail at a grey dealer. If this trend continues it will soon be cheaper to buy a full PM piece!

Just saw this is an old thread. The predictions were wrong as the now the watches are in the mid-low 20's. But I think we are seeing a short term soft leveling off. But, that may be short lived and the prizes will begin to rise again.
Supply is just too low and Rolex will adjust it further down if that is needed to sustain the hype. They love all this mania. |

Very interesting to see predictions from 3 years ago as many things sound like it would make sense. Looking back, crazy how off many of us off. I think hard to get make things interesting

As for getting a Daytona at MSRP, best guess is in 9-10 years from a gray (maybe from an AD as well if it follows the 116520 and you have a relationship) , but what the MSRP is at that time, nobody knows... |

BNIB steel Daytona’s have been MSRP+ asking prices on the secondary market since the mid 90’s, and they really bumped up with the 116520 and gone stratospheric with the 116500. In other words, don’t hold your breath.
There was a window just prior to the 116500 that they were much more available than they had been in many years, and some lucky buyers happened to run into a new one in the case at an AD, or get one with a wait of only a few months. That didn’t change the grey pricing significantly, but used pieces came down a couple thousand under MSRP. |

This is how long and wrong the msrp forecasting has been over the years.
Extrapolate this to the new GMT’s or any new SS professional model. This is why the wait and see crowd will not have a new watch on their wrist any time soon unless they get very lucky at a AD. We use to hear Rolex won’t make trendy over 40mm watches either. |

Daytona has for many years been at a premium. The only time in the near future that they will be available at MSRP will be if we see a major economic melt down and trust me 98% of us will not be intrested all of a sudden. |

I bought my first one when MSRP was $7,800 USD. The market price was $10-11k then.

But remember this is before the global hype really took off for all the hot models of a few brands, so as the Daytona was really the only one back then no one thought prices would go quite like this, even those of us who thought there would be a hefty premium for a long time.

This watch will never sell at or below MSRP on secondary market. Here's to hoping I'm wrong in the near future

It will be down to MSRP when you find one at an AD

Watch is pretty much perfect as is including the “old” movement. Only thing that would make it better would be a brushed lugs and bracelet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
