This is known to be one of the hardest to get watches. Authorized dealers are given ONE per year (actually two, but one is black-faced, and one is white faced). The white faced is the most demanded, thus more rare. I waited over a year to get mine, and only by luck did I get mine. The 116520 is milestone of Rolex's success. It signifies the start of a new era for Rolex... in which EVERY watch, EVERY component, and EVERY piece is made entirely by Rolex across all watches in their production. Until the year 2000, the Daytona's internal components were made by Zenith & Valjoux (still great quality, but not made by Rolex). This watch retails (at the moment I am writing) for about seven grand. If you want the watch now... you will have to pay over ten to twelve grand. If you want to wait 2-3 years on a waiting list (if you can even find a dealer who has one, usually they only sell this watch to customers who have bought other Rolex's...

First, there should be a model number, i.e. the first letter of the serial number. The later Daytonas which have the serial numer on the Rehaut of the watch are usually considered to be more valuable. Second, if the timepiece is an older series Daytona, this means it has been sitting around for some time with the original lubricants drying up. Third, I think it's only ethical to list the current retail price for a Stainless Steel Daytona. My understanding is sthat the full retail from an authorized dealer (AD) is $9,925. I acknowledge that Daytonas sell for more than the retail on the grey maket... and I know that ADs only receive about 2 per year, thus creating a demand that exceeds supply and hence the higher price. However, I believe than an AD can only charge the retail price. Fourth, I don't believe it states clearly whether this is a... Read more This review is from: Rolex Mens Stainless Steel Daytona Black Dial (Watch) I own this watch, with a white dial along with several other Rolex watches. I purchased this watch in 1990 when my Rolex Sea Dweller 4000 was stolen and replaced by homeowners insurance. I had to wait 18 months for the Daytona after paying for it in full. It cost around $5500.00 at the time and the continuous price increases ARE a VERY nice reason for investing in a Rolex. The problem with the Daytona is that, even in all stainless steel, it is EXTREMELY susceptible to minor scratches, especially on the dial. I only wear mine VERY occasionally (the original green sticker on the back of the case is still like new) but I have some very minor scratches on the dial. The thing that sets a Rolex APART from virtually all other watches is its RUGGEDNESS and DURABILITY. A Rolex is DESIGNED to be worn under ANY conditions that its wearer may be exposed to. In that regard the Sea Dweller 4000 was a much more PRACTICAL watch in that the owner need not be concerned... Read more |
