Hello fellow watch nerds,

One year ago I sold my 16520 white dial because I wanted a black dial... What a bad timing. Today I am still looking and unfortunately the prices did not help me...

Today I have been offered at 16520, Invested 6, black dial 1992. It is the exact watch I want from a respectful watchdealer I know. However, it comes at a preemium... 28.000 USD.

I would have to trade in one of my watches. My unpolished, fullset 16610LV, year 2007 all original. I rarely use the watch as I prefer my 5513. He is offering 12.200 USD for my 16610LV

What do you guys think I should do? I love the Daytona and I really like the older models without polished centre links. However, I can't seem to justify the price of 28.000 USD. Will I be too afraid to wear it? Should I instead get myself a 116520 (That watch just screams used car dealer)? Will prices on a 16520 ever go down? #Financialcrisis2019

Looking forward to hear your inputs. I have attached a beautiful picture of the Daytona and my 16610LV.

28k with papers or no papers????

1665fan · 3 December 2018, 10:38 AM

28k with papers is not really a deal...it’s already beat up so why would you be afraid to wear it??? It’s not mint or NOS

1665fan · 3 December 2018, 10:39 AM

I meant to say 28k w no papers is not really a deal

You probably know the answer to this, but since you are asking opinions....that is ridiculous. That watch is plentiful, and the only thing that all of a sudden has made it valuable is the perfect storm of strong economy and shortage of new Daytona. Be patient and wait for a market correction.
I like that model, but no way worth that kind of money in my opinion

16520's were not valuable before 2016.......?

Keep waiting for 'market correction'

1665fan · 4 December 2018, 08:07 AM

Yea if anything should correct it should be 4 digit Daytona’s with a manual valjoux movement.....16520 are 40mm and should weather the storm better if there ever is a correction

Keep the LV. You'll regret it.

Its almost impossible to time markets. What you can control is making a deal you are comfortable with.

I think you're right to look for an inverted 6 as it will fetch even more of a premium going forward but the price on this one is almost the price of an 16528 (which is truly used car dealer/drug lord).

Correct. I bought one in 2015 for $9,000. And there have already been corrections in the market in the past. You must be new...welcome!

1665fan · 4 December 2018, 11:57 AM

My patrizzi was very valuable in 2015....even more so now...

MAURICE8519 · 5 December 2018, 09:27 AM

Forgive my ignorance. Why is the 16528 considered drug lord/car dealer?

I consider any two tone Daytona to be that.

Why don’t u try to sell the watch on ur own? You’ll probably get more than what he offers.

I blame it on autoconnect.
