Title: Daytona 116520 (what you think?)
Post by: LMN377 on August 28, 2018, 11:49:53 PM

Dear all Daytona expert.

Appreciate if you can give me some opinion and review on 116520 about it’s future appreciation (compare to other sports model), is it a collectible item? Pro and cons of this watch?

At the price range of 63-68k is it still a good price to enter? Thank you!

Am not a Daytona expert, but really like this model... with price appreciation, if you have the budget, just go ahead in my opinion

Prices are a bit high but you would not lose money. Collectible, for sure. Appreciation, slowly but surely. The massive price spike has already occurred so don't expect a boom.

This particular SS Daytona is just as hot as the current Ceramic Bezel Daytona back then.
Discontinued model, undoubtedly a collector favorite.

Daytona is pretty high demand in the market, consider a good appreciate value for long run.

Thank Guys, would love to have the panda but the price is out of reach. SO this may be the cheapest Daytona. haha.

pretty love this watch, but quite expensive to own and price difference with panda isnt much diff, (foresee panda will have appreciate faster and its new watch)

Post by: LMN377 on August 31, 2018, 01:04:05 PM

Panda is 20k extra I guess. Can get a Honda city with this price. White dial I heard is going for almost 90k now :(

Well, you can't really compare the Daytona to the City, I guess. One appreciates on an annual basis, the other goes the other way. One has people remarking that you have taste, the other has some making fun of you as an Ah Beng (well, perhaps in SG only anyway). In any case, I find that investing in selected pieces within Rolex tend to have better returns that FD even; and the best part is, you get to wear them and have fun  :thumbsup:

Best advice by far. The spike is over. . whatever you pay now you can only hope it will hold.

Look for pointers by looking at Panerai and AP ROO hype..

Watches are never an investment. A good bet maybe if you're lucky.

I hope it would come down so I can purchase my dream watch at a lower cost. But having said that if you look at Rolex history over 40 years the price only go North and it never head south. Up or down next only time will tell.

Another good reading about Daytona:

Say what we want; but at the end of the day, the 116520 is a today's classic and looking real fine in the process too.

Even a Kermit cost at least 50K-80k now. A new HULK is 50k. I think Daytona price is still ok la.

Post by: Chris Yap on September 20, 2018, 06:14:50 PM

I still prefer the ones with ceramic bezel because the colour doesn’t fade and it’s scratch-proof.

Go for the one with Zenith movement, Rolex old watch always looks more balanced.

If you have budget just go ahead. Never go wrong with Daytona...

Yeh 100k-200k depending on condition and series for those. As for your 116520, I believe it’ll hold up much better than its ceramic counterpart in terms of value, just don’t expect it to spike high. So as long as you get a SS sports Rolex, it’ll hold its value in the future. Just try not to buy a watch as an investement I believe?

Maintaining value and slowly appreaciting is no issue for Rolex sports model, including Daytona. Keep going up up up! ×D

Yup, the TT is really under-appreciated these days. I find that the TT could co-exist with the SS pieces in one's collection. They just wear so differently from one another. My spouse naturally prefers the TT diamond dial. Nonetheless, the premium on these pieces are really sky-rocketing these days  :o
