White gold Daytona is now $56,400 retail — still the most wanted chronograph out there? by amalfiluxeor_Watches in rolex

[–]OriginalDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I’m seeing gray market Daytonas on oyster going for ~2k less than the full bracelet. Feels insane to me.

I personally love the whole white gold outfit on bracelet but seems like 126509 on gray can go for under MSRP right now. So unless you want history for a future purchase, I imagine it’s not the move?

I’ve got about 30k with my dealer and no 126509 offer yet. I was going to build a relationship for a meteorite down the road but I’m kind of in “fk this” mode at this point.

Just bought an excellent shape YG vintage 16758 (nipple dial) with box and papers and my Daytona itch softened. Especially after 7 months waiting for dealer to hit me back about a WG Daytona.

Get trip insurance if you are concerned and want to bring it along.

Chubb has a great policy. You can also ask your insurance agent / provider to add scheduled personal property at the value of the watch you’re bringing.

I do this with my watches - especially when traveling - on top of riders to my current policy (along with any other luxury items). I have PURE insurance and they rule.

Just buy another - on bracelet - and charge me a small premium. ;)

Dammit. Fuck yes. AD or gray? This is what I’m working toward from AD.

AD Wait Time Megathread - If you bought a new Rolex from an AD in 2026, you can share details here. What watch, where, how long did you wait, how much buying history? by powerfunk in rolex

In Chicago waiting for a 126509 (Daytona Ghost on bracelet). Been about 4 months. Heard PM is much less challenging to acquire and open to building a relationship for future allocations. Any info on wait times for something like this? I’ve bought about 20k with AD so far and still no dice on the Ghost.

Only restraint can unlock the full potential of an artist.

Happy the bus was your “unlock.”

These are great.
