dvn Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I am in the process of buying used a GEN Daytona 116520 white dial Z serial. Would $9850 a decent deal? or good deal? Anyone know of better deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Can i get 10% or 15% at the AD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrl1 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I doubt you can get a discount an an AD on these, on some parts of the country the waiting list is looong. Seems like a good deal if the watch is mint, box and papers, etc. List is $11750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Sounds about right so I say decent deal. IMHO, a great deal would be in the $8750-$9,000 range. I haven't looked in ages but I know Daytonas come up all the time on the bay. You need to parse through the "sold" for year, box and papers, etc. When I was hunting a while ago there were always several completed sales. Daytona's are probably the easiest to price in the secondary market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Unless you have a good rapport with your dealer, you will not get a deal on a SS Daytona. If you do have a good rapport, 10% might be possible (i.e. you have already spent five figures at their shop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I was able to locate one from the same AD that I purchased my GMT Master II 5 years ago and there will be no discount at all. In addition I have to pay 6.25% tax which I do have after paying full price. I will meed to sell my soul to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HartDoc Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Darn, one of my local AD was losing his rolex AD dealership. So he was selling anything he had in stock with last years prices plus 20% off in june. I should have posted this on the boards. But, didnt want him to get in trouble with Rolex. We I live is kind of rural and rolex moves very slow here andwe have another Rolex AD that give out good non advertised deals. Of course this is the worst time of year to buy anything. But around basel him always calls to tell what specials he is running. If anyone is serious drop me a line in the early part of next year.
