I am curious to know as well! When you say reasonably priced, do you mean £15k? Or lower?

That's about US$18500, so definitely less than most of the big name trusted sellers on TRF are asking. Similar to pricing from about a year ago if I remember correctly.

Frustrating... Should've just acted....

I recall when White dial prices dipped into the $16k USD territory about a year ago. Not sure what my point is, just saying....

It seems that for that price another one should be available again without much trouble.

Wow!!! 13,750 British Pound equals 18,435.71 US Dollar! To to me it's amazing to consider US$18,435.71 a good deal for SS Daytona-C.

Just be patient,Once the new Hot Watch Comes out(Pepsi GMT),I think Daytona prices will soften a bit.I really like the Watch but no way am I blowing 5-6K to have it now.

18500 is a good price for bnib. 19-20 is the norm for unstickered on the forum.

It can be tough to make a call on a short timeframe. I wasn't shopping for a Daytona, but found an AD with both a black and white 116500 - at retail without any taxes and fully stickered in caskets. I had 5 minutes to make a decision.

I bought the white one and absolutely love it. That's the good news. But I passed on buying the black one and have been kicking myself for the past 2 months.

Was it legit though. There was a good priced one here the other week and turned out to be a scammer
