Do you have all the paperwork with it?

How old is it?

When was it last serviced?

 

Was it bought from an official UK Rolex dealer?

 

How much do you want for it?

I'll stick with my £200 d&g beauty me thinks :)

 

Not bad to look at some of them, but at the end of the day they're not watchmakers and as such your £200 pays for the name only.

 

Seriously. IMO a handmade watch with a number of complications and limited to a very small run is like a piece of art.

 

Amen.

no, it tells you the time.

 

Maybe Im just too sensible but I see people with really expensive watches on and I just think they are 'kers. Use the money to do something memorable like a holiday or if you have to buy something special then get some real artwork that your friends will see.

 

You buy an expensive watch, you never use it for fear of being mugged or damaging it, you die, your family sell it and do something memorable with the money..cut out the 70 years of waiting and use the money elsewhere.

100% agree there.

Even £200 is loads I think for a bloody watch,it's only that my girlfriend bought it for me that I have it.

Each too there own I suppose :)

You could apply that argument to cars even ones as cheap and tenapenny as a Supra. Drive it only on the weekend, garage it all winter, always worrying that it'll get damaged or stolen if you leave it anywhere. It's only a tool for getting from A to B no matter how you dress it up but how many would spend the equivalent of a house on really nice supercar if they could.

 

I don't think there is any difference.

The Daytona is a very sought after watch. Its common for second hand Daytonas to sell for more than original retail.

Daytonas sell for between £4k and £55k depending on model / metal / condition.

Rolex are the most copied watch brand out there, some fakes being incredibly hard to spot unless you know a lot about them.

I'm not saying yours is fake, but its impossible to tell from one photo....I've not seen a Daytona with roman numerals in the flesh, so I'm not going to comment on that side of things further.

If its genuine, you have ALL the paperwork and box, and the paperwork serial number ties up with the serial number on the watch and the serial number checks out with Rolex, then its a valuable watch, running at several £k.

I'd join up on a Rolex forum, and ask their advice. But if it hasn't the original certificate and paperwork, you will have to go by the serial number alone...be prepared for some blunt questions.
