Just back from service with RSC. I also switched the dial from a pink Roman to this:

That's called a Tuxedo dial. Very nice!
This past summer, unfortunately, my uncle passed (84yrs) and left me his 16233 TT Rolex DJ. That was it for me! One month later I purchased the 1162234 DJ. And a week ago I purchased the 16220. This is worse than Head-Fi!!!

Love the black dial.. discrete and elegant

Slightly more "old school" from me...

Thank you.
Out of the 3 I prefer the all Stainless Steel finish w/Black Dial w/stick Markers and the Engine Turned Bezel the best. I feel it's the most sporty and masculine looking.

Slightly more "old school" from me...

I actually prefer the old school Rolex watches.
My 16233 is a '95 and the 116234 is an '05 and the 16220 is an '03. I currently have my eye on this '18 Cosmograph Daytona, but trying real hard to lose interest in it...real hard!

Daytonas are always classy. I'd love one, would never be able to afford one.

Funny thing is, I've found NOS Daytona's (they don't give the serial# to identify their years) that cost more then a brand new SS Daytona. Of course the NOS have yellow or white 18k gold (or Two-Tone) but SS is just fine with me.

A new Daytona is less expensive than a used one - when you compare the prices of a new one at MSRP and the same reference on the used market. At least in all steel.

 

[joseph69]

Yes.
A NOS or pre-owned Daytona is more expensive even in SS. It doesn't make any sense too me? Why do you think?

MSRP yes. However street value for 2016 and newer ones are selling for 150% above.

Sure - Supply and demand. A 5711, for example, is the same, but worse.

For get NOS, that's not really a thing here. If you can find a new, from an AD, SS Daytona today and wear is for 6 months, you will sell it for 6-8k more than what you paid for it.

MSRP yes. However street value for 2016 and newer ones are selling for 150% above.

"New ones" are really from an AD, so they sell at MSRP, not more. You are talking gray market. Yes, the Daytona prices are on the rise. But that's not new, it has been the case now since the 90's.

Perhaps on second thought, I could have ordered a mono colored strap.

Then I gotta start looking!

An old favourite.

Anyone care to guess the vintage on this one?

'57?

 

[Tinnitus Man]

Not that old. This is a moon-watch.
