Very nice.Still haven't seen one in person but I am supposedly on the "list" at our local AD also. Not holding my breath.

I think the is only the second one owned by a FChatter.

+1 - I love this watch! GLWS!

 

I don't get it, I keep hearing customers are in line and waiting. I called Rolex Beverly Hills/Century City Store (they are the same) asking if they had one. They took down my information and 48 hours later it was on my wrist. This was December of 2015. Back in 2008 I had one the same but that time walked into the store and picked it up right there, so I ask what gives? And by the way nice watch, love mine. Random Serial Numbers on the newer ones and no hologram sticker on the back.

 

Not the same Daytona.The new one was just announced in March 2016 and is just now getting to ADs.

But saw them in December at the Rolex stores, again both in Century City and Beverly Hills store, I just did not want that particular style. And that is subjective. Price is extremely fair on this watch. It is the only watch along certain Patek's that not only keep their value but in time go up and up. Someone here would be getting a really nice watch!

 

Wasn't the new one you saw in December. The new Daytona was not even announced until end of March 2016 at Baselworld. Most dealers still don't have one.

It was the one under glass, did not ask about it but it was being displayed. Have too many Rolex's not to notice the difference. Now am not sure if they were selling or on display - I looked but did not ask.

 

We obviously all appreciate fine movements, and I do not want to argue either, but I can swear I saw one there. Again not sure if it was for sale or just a one off that they had. But I had not been drinking nor was I high. Maybe am wrong (oh yeah it is possible) but again I can swear I saw it there. You local so am wondering where did you pick this one up from? Either way it is a beautiful watch, someone here ought to grab it ASAP. GLWS And I will add that maybe I was mistaken on what I saw, perhaps a white gold model with a ceramic dial but not a Panda face. I was too excited that they called me within 48 hours to pick mine up

 

What is the MSRP on this watch?

 

Just got mine today, love it.

 

$12,400 USD.

 

Albert brings up a good conversation. This watch is pretty much the Holy Grail right now, especially for Rolex enthusiasts. Does it actually look that much different front the older version? The ceramic bezel appears to be larger and the dimensions look different. The reviews are very positive, I hope that Rolex keeps it limited for awhile.

 

Amazing watch. I'm on the list at a few places but it seems that each AD will only see 1-2 watches per year. It's going to be a long wait. GLWS!

 

I think it's just the fact that the 6263 has gotten so much attention from the vintage market that it has driven the prices for them past $30k USD, and the fact this one sort of pays homage to that one with modern materials, at a fraction of the cost.

The the watch (almost) everyone has been asking for from Rolex.

 

Holy cow,
I called the best "reseller" in the DFW area and he said they have a white dial and black dial 116500. $23K but he thinks they are both sold but he thinks they have another one coming in.

 

I'm being patient and will wait for one to come in where the dealer doesn't charge double for it. That's absurd.

I also wouldn't hold my breath on that dealer getting any more in for the year, unless they are a top dealer for Rolex.
