HauteHippie Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I wonder how'd it sell if they rereleased the classic daytonas in today's larger form factor? Hmmm.

freddy333 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I wonder how'd it sell if they rereleased the classic daytonas in today's larger form factor? Considering they would probably price them at $40k, hard to say. In any case, if they ever did/do re-release the 62xx Daytona,I would hope that they would NOT supersize them (or add a date feature, which is 1 of the things that set the Daytona apart from (& above) other chronographs).

You'd have to price at or modestly above today's Daytonas and well under the cost of a vintage to make any sense I would think. Anyhow I think it's a damn good idea if I do say so myself.

cc33 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I asked someone that question once and he said it would negatively affect their vintage market, I don't know if that's true or not but we have a case study with the Monte Carlo, maybe someone who knows can say if the newer re release of it affected the vintage mc market.

lhooq Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 You'd have to price at or modestly above today's Daytonas and well under the cost of a vintage to make any sense I would think. I dunno... There have been several high-profile reissues that have sold for more than the vintages on which they were based: The TAG-Heuer 40th Anniversary Monaco still fetches more than a Monaco 1133B from 1970, while the PloProf 1200m is just about tied with the old 600. And as recently as a few years ago, 60s-era Blancpain Fifty Fathomses would sell for 1/3-1/2 of a new one's retail price. It's perverse! As for modernized classic Daytonas, have you seen the Bamford & Sons with the "Heritage" Paul Newman dial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ya you guys are right. I actually thought about the Fifty Fathoms after the post too. Especially if they did an exclusive limited rerelease. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just received the finishing touch for this piece today: A pair of NOS gen pushers. The search for a pair priced sensibly lasted almost 1 year. Patience is indeed a virtue. Can't wait to get this things installed. The Ofrei/Cousins pushers really are junk.
