Wow an AD is KL is selling the new Daytona steel at over 20k plus premium. Is this real? Or I was really outdated on watches since I am on sabbatical this year. I was told this is the only new Daytona he has in stock.

Last weekend i asked a local AD and the price was +RM20k premium.

Actually it's more like almost 30K+ premium for the new Daytona now. Was just over at a boutique yesterday. Interestingly enough I spotted a brand new "Kermit" for sale to but also at around 30K+ premium but comes with the current 5 years warranty instead. Crazy....

Hour glass rm75k. Ready stock, anyone?

Crazy premium. Was offered a unit before at this crazy premium, have to pass on as I'm not crazy enough. haha...

Those interested on the model should patiently wait for the price drop...normally high premium imposed by the ADs on the Rolex novelty model.

Sure or not

Anyway, if you can stomach the price I don't see why not. I spotted the Kermit at Rolex Boutique in Pavilion opposite Rimowa luggage shop. You won't miss it as it's displayed in front of the entrance. Good luck

For that kind of premium, best to by a 1 day return ticket to dubai - sleep on the plane, arrive in the morning, head towards Dubai Mall, buy one, head back to the airport and fly home in the evening flight

Only if they have stock to sell you one.

Haha, that true - best to call first. This reminded me of one episode in my watch collecting hobby. There are some similarities.

The target was for a Seiko JDM model that was priced ridiculously high in KL but not in Japan. Although the premium was substantial (even after taking into consideration GST by Customs), i decided to personally pick up one in Japan since i was heading there for something else. I called ahead, book a unit, flew over and the rest was history.

This action alone saves me the GST portion which made the acquisition even more sweeter.

My friend ordered a piece right before I did on basel announcement date from a small AD in Australia (at the time big AD's all didn't want to take orders and claimed that their list is full or have to sell to VIP first). I got mine on 2 August 2016. He is still waiting for his, maybe November or December he will get it.

I think the easiest way to get this piece was to look for smaller AD outside Asia and major cities (Tokyo, NYC, Paris, London) on basel release date. The AD I dealt with was honest and promised not to charge premium. Obviously very difficult to obtain at list or discount in Malaysia Singapore HK.

The price $15,700 AUD (including GST of $1,427) = at the time costed me $43,000 ringgit. I think it is very good value.

Wow, 43K is very good. I think everywhere is charging an obscene premium for it now knowing the crazy demand for it. Well done bro. Would be nice if you could share some pics and a review perhaps?

Just came out of Rolex outlet at Nanjing Rd, Shanghai. Had one cerachrom in stock in black. CNY95k, 9% tax rebate for foreigners. But there's a catch, price only valid with purchase of another item worth CNY45k.

lol... I actually want the white faced Daytona and not willing to accept the T&C here. But those who are willing and like the black Daytona, can go to Nanjing Rd. Will try my luck in Korea next week.
