Trying to decide between two pre-owned Daytona's.

Option 1
2010 - Black Dial

Options 2
2002 - White Dial

Both in Mint condition and seller is asking $12K each with Box and Papers.

I'm leaning white due to the fact that most of the other watches I have or want next have black dials. Just not sure which one is the better deal for $12K. This is my first Daytona.

I also may just wait until I can get my hands on the new ceramic dial version when it becomes available to me.

What is everyone's opinion on the the 116520 now that the 116520LN is on the market?

rollee1 · 1 March 2017, 02:04 AM

A white 2002 even after service is too high. 116520 prices are volatile, there are other watches to be had.

hitman23 · 1 March 2017, 02:07 AM

Not an expert, but I have been looking around. 12k seems a bit much for a '02 model unless it was just recently serviced. You may as well spend an extra 1.5k on an NOS model if you figure in the service fees.

Castiel · 1 March 2017, 02:12 AM

I vote for white. Please check with some of the trusted sellers here for pre-owned. And if you spend a bit more, you may be able to get a NOS just as hitman23 indicated.

I've got a lovely white one for sale here in the classifieds for $10,250 that a smart negotiator could probably get for even less... :)

rph08 · 1 March 2017, 02:45 AM

Personally, I like the white dial on the 116520, but prefer the black dial on the new 116500. I also agree that at $12K, I'd be looking for NOS or at least a more recent specimen. Good luck!

Goin2drt · 1 March 2017, 02:55 AM

I will sell you my white dial 2004 for $12k

That would be $2500 profit in two months.

My vote is white and you can do much better on the price.

NJRomanista · 1 March 2017, 02:56 AM

Thanks for all responses and info.

They've both been recently serviced and are being sold by an authorized dealer.

I'm also leaning toward a white one because I anticipate eventually purchasing a vintage model with a black dial such as a Sub.

My other option is holding off on the Daytona for now and getting the new ceramic one when it's available and going with something like a no-date Sub or GMT II for now.

Here's a pic of both the Daytona's on my wrist as well as the Sub.

Feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated!

12K is a rip off

sorry

KingRichard · 1 March 2017, 03:51 AM

Don't buy the 02 model. Too expensive. Get a ceramic one.

RaceDoc · 1 March 2017, 03:54 AM

I prefer White however; 2010 will be more appealing to me than 2002.

I think I agree. Probably worth waiting on a ceramic one.

What would be an appropriate price for each? The 2010 black and the 2002 white?

doramas · 1 March 2017, 04:17 AM

Daytona 16520 white. Insurmountable

melman · 1 March 2017, 04:24 AM

All these on here saying 12k is to high haven't shopped these watches used lately. Good luck finding one with papers and a box in mint for under 12k. Condition, box/papers and trusted seller play a role in price. IMHO

Found this after a 2 minute search here on TRF...many listed are sub 12k

opaline460 · 1 March 2017, 05:23 AM

Black for the 116520, 10k for used maybe......

beshannon · 1 March 2017, 05:31 AM

I have no opinion on the two pieces in question, I own a white dial as I found it to be more easily readable.

Xerxes77 · 1 March 2017, 05:35 AM

White

Nice watch. So $11,625 is a great savings over 12k. I guess my post was speaking to those that think the OP was far off what these watches go for in the condition and options he is looking for. 12k is hardly a "ripoff" or "to high"

Oh and for the OP black all the way

I agree 12k isn't a "rip-off", but maybe just a tiny bit steep...id be more comfortable finding one at a 10.5-11k range. They're definitely out there to be found. Happy hunting OP

Agreed, I'm not in the market for one (since I own both white and black in 116520) but I have kept an eye on the pricing as I brown the classified. 12k isn't @ all outrageous for a complete set that is in minty condition.....new from trusted sellers still range from 13.5-14k (we all know this will go up unfortunately). Sure you can find lower with individuals that either don't know what they have or are desperate to sell for the new hot toy (116500)...but big trusted sellers here offer security and assurances and they know the market.

To the OP, buy the one that sings to you....it's difficult but there should be 1 that clearly stands out....sounds like white is it.....due to it being from 2002 though....I'd imagine there should be more room for negotiation unless it's a super safe queen of some kind. Good luck.

So i've decided to pass on the Daytona's. If anyone is interested in them they have them at the Tourneau on Madison Ave in NYC. Ask for Henri
