SS Daytona C price increases

If they raise the price to 40 the "I won't pay over MSRP" crowd will swamp the stores-only to be told they still need to buy 20 grand in jewelry.

I have been off the board for quite some time but in killing time on internet, I saw my SS White Daytona, 116520, I paid 9.5k for 8 years ago is worth mid-20's, is this correct?

My insurance will only cover up to $15k without appraisal so next week I am taking to dealer to get appraised by independent appraiser.

Also my wife has a 26 INCH 18K WG ROLEX LADIES DATEJUST STYLE # 179174. JUBILEE STAINLESS STEEL BRACELET # 63130. DIAL IS WHITE WITH DIAMOND MARKERS.

Has her watch increased as well or anyone guess approx. value?

Thanks

I thought they were overpriced at $12k let alone at $20k. A steel watch for $40k it’s just Royal Stupidity.

Any watch besides a $5 Timex from Walmart is overpriced... But why are we still here?

Aren't there steel Patek and Royal Oak going for over 40?
What about the plastic Richard Mille.
Just saw a full gold DIGITAL CASIO on producer michael youtube that is over 200! Just a regular ******* 20 buck casio with under ten grand gold bracelet added.

Dating yourself. Those Timexes are now 20-30 bucks, and like 40 years ago many are pretty damn reliable and nice looking!

Ive been searching the net for about a month i cant find any black or white face SS Daytona for double new price, its closer to 3 times retail?
Most have been on the net for a month.

Got a bit of flak for buying from a grey a fair few years ago. People here around the time was also saying the bubble was about to burst.

Now the UK grey price is nearly double of what I paid a US grey back then

The “bubble is about to burst” brigade have been quite silent recently

Actually the RO are going for close to 60! Just tried a SS RO chrono on that was 5 years old and they were asking $59

I see Timex mechanical going for $185. No wait lists either

Still good form to bring them a thank you note, bottle of quality champagne and box of expensive chocolates...

You might want to check your math there - $13.2k * 1.05^10 = $21.5k, not even close.

If so, it will help narrow the gap between MSRP and market price.

It would depend on how much more hype is generated by things like so called social media, as today Rolex watches are little more than ££$$€€ objects to many.

This is almost a silly point as few are even available at MSRP.
