My AD is getting two in October and both are already sold. He's also got four other customers on a waiting list. To some, money isn't an issue. I'm hoping to get in there and see it before they are picked up.

Maybe at 50k

$75K is a bit much...strikes me as a loss leader thing

Loss leader ?!?!?

I think the next Daytona will be priced with the yachtmaster two ss. 18,500ish for ss. They are setting the framework now. It will also have an added complication.

LightOnAHill · 20 September 2013, 12:03 PM

My response....

YES PLEASE!

6263forlife · 20 September 2013, 04:31 PM

I wonder how it would really look at different light conditions.

At night it might look stunning as the brown bezel might look a little darker than most photos....one photo on the web provides that look a little but not enough.
The large typical bezel of the late Daytonas in that brown light medium tone seem to dominate and give the watch a cheap look.....now the two colors on the dial are a great match but the bezel takes away from looking elegant as big as it is in that color so in the day light I can only guess it might look like a bling cheap look.
Nothing wrong with platinum that part I feel is appropriate for an anniversary special one that appeals to the ones that can effort it....but if that brown was a hair darker where it looked almost black at night and only slightly lighter in the day time it might have taken the cheap look away and looked like what it is worth.
I find other similar Daytonas that I see here a lot better looking .

On the other hand one might get used to it and feel is the best one.
Thinking out loud here...

At this price point, it's not "rather" but "in addition to" for any prospective owner.

Hahaha. But i have been thinking how it will hold its value in a decade or so being the only platinum rolex sport model and (from my opinion) will not sell well

c.rod · 21 September 2013, 12:01 AM

i do not think it will sell well at all. besides the price its kinda nasty..lol

Stellite · 21 September 2013, 03:22 AM

Since this thread is worthless without pictures I added one. Is this the one you guys are talking about?

kilyung · 21 September 2013, 06:43 AM

That watch would look nice sitting next to my DD2.

Or a YG YMII, Mike. Either or both would look dandy next to the platty DD2 of yours.

That is a stunning picture. I normally don't like brown but that combo of chestnut brown against the icy blue dial is sensational.

kilyung · 21 September 2013, 06:59 AM

Phong, YM2 is a foregone conclusion. I'm already thinking of what's next.

If they did that combo in stainless they could not keep it in stock

Hideous at any price! IMHO.

How that is "hideous" is really beyond me.

So the colour scheme may not be universally appealing. Fair enough. But that makes the whole thing hideous? Really? I mean... really??

Dr. Robert · 21 September 2013, 09:38 AM

It's not as bad as that gold & jewel encrusted leopard/tiger daytona.

Art 1 · 21 September 2013, 09:46 AM

Supposedly there have been 2 pre sold in Rolex Orlando. They are expecting it to be a very low production model that will have waiting lists. We'll see.
