Daytona SS 116250

This model vary in prices on the second hand market probably due to the conditions and year.

I want to know if the watch is worth more money if it is brand new with all the plastics and green sticker intact?

If you're going to wear it, then it really doesn't matter if there's stickers on it or not.

You can buy it, store it, never wear it, die and you've never enjoyed it...

Yes

If you see a used one for X amount and see one in brand new condition I would say it would be at least 3 to 4 grand more. Maybe 4 to 6 grand more.

Prices on new examples are higher. I wouldn't pay a big premium because I want to wear my watches. If the watch is an investment and you don't want to decrease its value by wearing it, that's another matter.

Conditions/Full package will play price? Of course is Full Stickers and BNIB full package is worth more!

Price is based on many factors, one being condition. Better the condition, higher the price.

If you plan to buy to wear, buy one that is not in new old stock “NOS” condition. It would not be worth paying the premium just to pull the stickers off and put the watch on your wrist.

My advice is don't waste your money on stickers if you're going to wear it. 2 weeks under a soft sleeve and that polished steel will photograph like it's been dragged through gravel to the newbie eye.
