Rolex Daytona grey market.

[Buster73]

I see Daytonas advertised at anywhere from £8k To £8.5k

Brand new but at non Rolex dealers , my question is what do they actually currently go for ?

Maybe Dom H could shed some light on this ?

Morning Buster,

Not a lot I can add really. As you've pointed out, the market for these is upwards of £8000....

A colleague of mine has a brand new unworn Daytona he's looking at selling, pm me if it's of interest.

Best bet would be to speak to a high street authorised dealer and find out list price, and whether there is a waiting list still and how long this runs to.
Believe their is a mark up due to waiting lists but also heard that the waiting period has at least been significantly reduced in the past few years, although I have not confirmed this.

Yes there is a waiting list
Most dealers quote 5-7 years, but in reality it's more like 18 months.
RRP £7490 for Stainless Steel

So they are actually selling north of £8k

I actually thought they would be trading at no more than. £7k -£7.5k

Not that I know of, as that would require AD's discounting the watch. There are still plenty of prospective buyers on the waiting lists at AD's willing to pay list....

OP, what about second hand or opting for an unworn example? Watches & Jewellry of Bond Street (www.watchcentre.com) have unworn examples of both the black dial and white dial models, priced at £8050.

How about this 2005 Daytona for £6795 from the Swiss Watch Company (www.watches.co.uk)?
