How much roughly the damage?

Caseywai · « **Reply #53 on:** May 15, 2016, 07:06:54 PM »

Absolutely stunning watch. Can't wait to see in person, but seems like due to the high demand might never see it for a few years...haha

Buy it at oversea boutiques if you are traveling. Believe the chances to get one is higher than the Malaysia boutiques.

Have a feeling it'll be sold over rrp for early adopters. Would rather get a JLC perpetual calendar at that price.

Pre-order available at Rolex Authorized Dealer in KL ?

definitely there will be premium charged onto it & ppl are buying off the shelves like no ones business

Retail is 12,400 usd. Hopefully the price won't be too much above retail.

I heard you can get it for less than RM40k in Europe, if you get a tax refund. Can anyone confirm that?

Don't think you can buy at retail now.

Demand too strong. DavidSW just sold one above 20k USD. So that's over 80k ringgit and also it was a black dial. check out the pic to posted shortly. gone very fast the thing.

Black dial version sold very fast by Davidsw. Heavy premium over retail.

Demand is very strong now. Impossible to buy.

Enquired and placed name with AD. Will be priced around 46k.
However I'm at 15th or so on the list for the white dial and 10th for the black dial.

Virtually means next year can only get it and most probably the Retail price would have gone up a round by then

Surprisingly to hear that the white has slightly more demand in terms of more names on it vs black

The white one has more history. As the Daytona Paul Newman has a white face. The contrast also, imho, looks much better with a white face. But shops in Malaysia tell me that they will price the black faced higher than the white face... which doesn't make much sense. Could be because they believe that the black face explorer 2 is in higher demand than the white polar explorer 2. I believe, rather, that these shops don't really know their craft well.... perhaps....

adamjohari · « **Reply #67 on:** May 25, 2016, 07:23:04 AM »

Also, let's be real, who's the shmuck who paid 21k usd for the Daytona? That's a 9k usd premium over the retail. With that amount you could get a Lange 1, JLC Duometre, FP Journe CB, Nautilus 5711.... the list goes on and on.

Unless you're a celebrity with cash to burn. Doesn't make financial sense. Of course, your money is your money....

akykmy · « **Reply #68 on:** May 25, 2016, 08:25:01 AM »

these guys that pay way above retail cash is not the issue, for them it's the bragging rights...

I've been told by local boutique here that it'll definitely be over RM50K. Exact price will be determined when released. I've put myself on the list here and Australia. Will see who gets back to me first

Why so surprise? Most people like the new white dial panda design which has really good contrast.

No surprise here.

White demand is insane. But I prefer the black and ordered the black.

Update:

black dial price on grey market is going down, dealers keep dropping price, lowest I have seen so far is $17,000 USD. Heavy premiums going to disappear soon.
