In 2010 I found myself with a great deal of money in my vacation account. Being a selfish guy, I decided to buy myself a gift. I went to W47th Street in Manhattan and found 2 watches that I was interested in. An IWC Pilot chronograph and a black face Daytona. I stood at the counter for quite some time looking at both watches. The IWC was about $5,000. and the Daytona was $10,400. After a while, the woman behind the counter asked "What's wrong?" I replied "I'm a little nervous, I never spent this much on a watch before" She told me "Buy the Daytona, you can always get your money back" I took her advice. Boris, the owner explained to me that the watch listed for $9,900. and that there was a $500. premium on it. I've always been thankful for their advice and honesty. I have several other watches but this is the one I wear every day. The love affair hasn't ended. Don't settle. Save up for what you really want.
Bought my 116520 white dial around 9 years ago for $9k, don’t remember exactly how much. It was my third Rolex as I already have a Seadweller and a while gold fluted bezel/steel Jubilee 36mm Datejust as well. I enjoy wearing them and I don’t worry resale value. Resale value means nothing if I am not gonna sell it.
Once you buy a great watch like the Rolex Daytona , no way would you ever wanna part with it . Resale means nothing to a true watch Collector . I rather have one watch I love than many watches that i just like . I think the all steel , white Dial Daytona is a fantastic watch . Enjoy your watch and never worry about its Value .
Stunning Mark. I had the exact same which I wore for ten years before I was forced to let it go when times got tough. It broke my heart. Hoping to get another in the near future and haven’t seen the ceramic version in person. Would like to compare. Do you still prefer yours? Thx
I remember when the 116500 white dial black bezel came out I knew it was going to be my grail one day. I went to an AD and had them put my name down for a white dial black bezel. I remember giving them a little back story of how I was a huge daytona cosmograph fan and how I own two of them. They actually brought out the platinum 116506 for me to look at and I didn't know how to react. It was an amazing feeling and I thought I would never see one in person let alone hold one. Long story short, they did give me a call saying the requested watch was in and would be selling shortly at a first come first serve basis. I had the funds but I never pulled the trigger. Going rate at the time was I think 12500$. I'm still looking to own the 116500 one day but I'm still happy with what daytona watches that I have. Cheers
I hate to tell you this, Mark, but the Daytona craze started in the 1990s and it has just never let up, and since the older ones become more collectible, I doubt this craze will ever let up. You never know.
Hi Mark, how much "substantial amount"(I'm guessing that it is known as down payment) an individual have to pay before getting the Rolex Daytona....???
Great video, Mark. I have a similar story as you, but with the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu. For the past 8 years or so, I had my eyes on it as my "grail watch" and every year that passed by without me owning one, I just would feel a little bummed out. I finally managed to get my hands on one last year and paid a king's ransom (number begins with a 5), but since then, it's almost doubled in price. I love the aesthetics of a Daytona so maybe one day I'll try to acquire one as well. In the meantime, I'm just happy with finally being able to acquire my grail watch.
im in a similar situation where im looking for my first luxury watch because I'm celebrating a milestone... i know right now i cant afford a daytona (might take me like 5 years, by then the milestone will have long passed), but i know if i get an omega now, it wont feel the same, so I'm debating on if i should even buy an omega or not
I am the type of person who just loves both of your Rolex watches however, I could never justify spending the money to buy either. I love your watches man. Live life they way you want to.
I bought the exact model pre-owned 2017 Rolex Daytona for 30k including NYC tax. I wanted a new one but Rolex store at Hudson Yard told me of a “interest list not a wait list” 😢.
Proud owner of 116520 with white face (white>black IMO) as well which I purchased at retail in November 2013 from Tourneau at the Bal Harbour Shops in Miami when I was in town visiting my Dad proving that luck and timing are everything. An old fool who thinks he's so cool, I'm strictly old school and much prefer the old stainless steel bezel compared to the current model, a truly subtle yet tasteful statement piece, pure understated elegance. Most non-watch enthusiasts have absolutely no idea what a stainless steel Daytona is, means, or represents in terms of its history and heritage; however, IYKYK. Congratulations on your purchase, Mark, and may you wear it in health.
When I bought mine in 2013 I was debating between a AP diver or a Hublot Big Bang. I’m glad I went with the black 116520 w the oysterlock bracelet for $12k brand new. No waiting list.
Same here, bought my APH white dial Daytona years back. Just loved the look of it. Don’t care about resale value as I am not selling it. Enjoy wearing it and I don’t baby it.
Just came across this video. I had my heart set on a daytona the year the ceramic ones came out. Shouldve pulled the trigger at the time. was offered it with a $2000 over retail which at the time was pretty crazy. I passed and my heart hasn't forgiven me since. lol. Great video.
Yeah that’s life. Next time treat it like a toy and buy what you want. My thinking is if I can afford a toy without feeling it financially, go for it. I have APH white dial Daytona, a Seadweller and a white gold fluted bezel Datejust jubilee, enjoy wearing all of them and don’t give a damn about resale value as I am not selling.
@@jml9550 I hear you. I opted for a yachtmaster which was preowned and way under retail. In 2016 when I was ready to buy the daytona they didn't have any in stock so I got a two tone bluesy sub. Since then I have picked up a Rootbeer GMT and a Starbucks. After all that my AD says I'm on a list for a Panda.... I was like WTF? lol. I might not be meant to be lol.
Your dream came true. Enjoy every moment of it. No Daytona here, but two 1960s Speedies, one being the mighty 321. The only additional chrono that I will consider is a 1960s Heuer Autavia, but no modern pieces - they feel dead, with no soul. I do have a fabulous Rolex 5513 from 1967 tho, with plexi crystal, tritium, lug holes and original riveted, plated bracelet. I might be tempted by another Rolex, a 1675 from the 1960s - with cornino "eagle beak" crown guards if possible.
Thank you for sharing your story. I still remember when GMTs, Subs, etc. were always by the windows when my uncle took me to a Rolex store for his first sub in late 90s. Miss those times.
You didn’t miss those times, back then these timepieces weren’t appreciated and that’s why nobody really gave a shit, now everyone wants one because all these RUclipsrs and social media influencers brainwashed you in liking them. Just like in the sneaker world, Nike SB and Nike Dunk Lows and Jordan 1 High’s are making a comeback. Don’t ever say you miss those times.
My watch interest started as Bulova as a teenager, and then thought I was stepping up to Tag's. I finally bought my first automatic Rolex and it has been addiction since. Adding my 6th Rolex, the 116520, and have not looked back. They are expensive but a sound investment. Plus it is "man jewelry", and have a problem trying to resist buying another Rolex.
As an owner of a few luxury watches, the daytona really is a grail and quite possibly the "best" watch on the planet in terms of styling and investment However I would feel a big sense of vulnerability wearing this in public knowing how sought after this watch is and it is hardly understated with its polishing, BUT the White dial with steel bezel definitely looks better than the newer ceramic model. you are very lucky to gave gotten one before the incredible price hikes, I managed to get a 36mm rolex explorer pre covid and that has already increased in value by 2k, but like you said the WHOLE luxury watch market is inflated beyond belief right now.
This is definitely something I do think about from time to time. I certainly don't want to be a target... but thankfully it's also somewhat under the radar given it's just a steel sports watch.
@@MarkKwak Glad you caught it! I worked at it patiently through the AD, and finally got it in Brand New, and so happy with it. Yours looks great, and the movement is basically the same as mine, technology way ahead of its time. The Ceramic steel version is still insanely impossible to get. The hype on that is still unreal, in combination with low supply output. But I love the two-tone and would also have liked the full gold. Props to you for putting yourself out there on RUclips with this video, and clearly explaining the situation. You need a GMT to round out The Rolex Trinity. (Get a Pepsi). Once you get the itch, it's hard to scratch.
One of the best decisions I made with my watches was not settling for an Omega as my first watch. I knew if I bought it, it just wouldn't be enough to scratch that itch- glad I avoided it
Yeah definitely. I mean, if you are on the verge of poverty.. a used Omega may be unavoidable but we all know that Rolex is the only real luxury brand. I seriously hope you went for the solid gold version. While SS may be trendy right now, I find it in poor taste and you'll just eventually want to graduate to the big boy version.
I did settle for an Omega Seamaster when i was 18 years old and having a big itch for a AP Royal Oak 15400. At that age I had no money for it... But that Omega was not enough to scratch that itch haha
Well stated points. I own one and I have to say I don’t wear it I just keep it in the safe. These days let’s be honest and call it what it is it’s super dangerous to be wearing a steel Daytona. Right or wrong that’s just the harsh reality. Unless you stay in your little country club gated community if you wear this day in and day out to the work anywhere you are putting yourself at risk. That is a terrible shame but that’s the way it is. I own Breitling‘s IWC and to Rolex‘s and I just don’t wear them. These are the times we live in
Current update: Mark bought the 116520 for ~$15k and now it’s currently going for around $40k-$$50k depending on various conditions the watch comes with. I’d say you struck gold with the $15k, Mark!
40-50K ?? It’s not the current market for 11,6520 here in europe. Prices are sharply falling below 20K US right now… I got mine for 17K EUR full set 2009
Bought one this week... Used one from 2005 and paid 28k USD for it in Europe... Came home and was disappointed right away... But like Mark, I had to buy it because of my obsession. I am hoping my son can enjoy the watch when he is older...
@@sanfransiscool There is a huge, huge financial crisis on its way, due to global stagflation. Due to COVID, people have developed this gambling urge. This fuels further speculation, but that big fat bubble will burst sooner than later. Never overpay. What goes up, eventually will go down and vice versa. Buy when the mob is fearful, sell when it’s greedy. Better buy gold. It will afford you two of these same watches when the upcoming crisis strikes real estate, luxury brands and the stock market.
You know there has been people saying the market will crash since 2010 right? They claimed the biggest crash in history was bound to happen in 201X. The barked "buy gold and silver!" None of that happened and the market reached all time highs almost every months. Saying things like "what goes up, eventually will go down" is like saying water is wet. No one can time the market. Stop with YOUR speculations. Does the market makes sense right now? Fundamentally, no. But if someone had a time machine and told me that the market continued to go up until 2030, I wouldn't be surprised either because things that don't make sense is starting to make sense these days...
@@TS-er2jc The fact that you address me in caps already tells me how emotionally invested you are. That’s the gambler mindset. Probably a crypto sucker as well. Then when it all goes wrong, you are on the forefront of the angry mob.. Demanding that the government, banks or simply ‘the man’ will compensate you for your own greed gone wrong.
@@HatovimLeTayis you just made another speculation about me. That i'm emotionally invested, have a gambler mindset, a crypto sucker, and will be a part of some angry mob when it all goes down. You should really stop with your speculations.
Let’s not forget , that watch is now discontinued, so you can’t just go to an AD and put your name down So glad I bought mine 5 years ago , I paid £7.5k it’s now worth £22k 🤷🏽♂️mad
As far as Rolexes go, with your height/weight, a 36mm Explorer would look far more appropriate on your wrist. That said, if the Daytona is your grail watch, then enjoy it.

Does anyone ever, EVER use the chronograph features except to 'watch' the second hand start, stop, start and stop......
If you don’t understand watches just say that.
Let’s not forget , that watch is now discontinued, so you can’t just go to an AD and put your name down
So glad I bought mine 5 years ago , I paid £7.5k it’s now worth £22k 🤷🏽♂️mad
Same but i didnt know how serious it is to have now
you're lucky because this is less sought after
16520 gonna cost you a lot more
Better sell it before its late 😊
Daytona bubble? Dip? Yeah, good luck with that one. 🤣 There’s no dip coming.
I've always seen this watch as a unisex watch. It's a bit to small and dainty for me. I'll pass.
I'm looking at a homage sorry
Got one SD bicolor this spring and happy with it! Hopefully we will get rid of it before this bulb exploses (joke)!
Good video, next time iron you t-shirt when you are on video.
As far as Rolexes go, with your height/weight, a 36mm Explorer would look far more appropriate on your wrist. That said, if the Daytona is your grail watch, then enjoy it.
Bashed yours up not worth too much more than when you bought it
I got thru 44 seconds of video.
It’s a way too overvalued watch.
Old man's watch. Not my type. Only Asians run after brands.
dumbest reaction ever.
Says the person that can’t afford it.
Old man watch ? Stupid asf
"Screw down buttons." What a fucking newb.
ROLEX ONLY. SmartMove
