From an owner of this watch. Jan 16, 2006 By G. Hewitt "Just a Guy"
I actually own this watch and I am wearing it as I type. This is known to be one of the hardest to get watches. Authorized dealers are given ONE per year (actually two, but one is black-faced, and one is white faced). The white faced is the most demanded, thus more rare. I waited over a year to get mine, and only by luck did I get mine. The 116520 is milestone of Rolex's success. It signifies the start of a new era for Rolex... in which EVERY watch, EVERY component, and EVERY piece is made entirely by Rolex across all watches in their production. Until the year 2000, the Daytona's internal components were made by Zenith & Valjoux (still great quality, but not made by Rolex). This watch retails (at the moment I am writing) for about seven grand. If you want the watch now... you will have to pay over ten to twelve grand. If you want to wait 2-3 years on a waiting list (if you can even find a dealer who has one, usually they only sell this watch to customers who have bought other Rolex's and don't hold a waiting list) then go to an authorized dealer and do so. Be careful who you buy this watch from, as fakes are getting better and better. If you do buy one, be sure to take it to an AD (Authorized Dealer) to ensure it is Authentic. If you think this watch is expensive now... wait 5-10 years... it will be worth more than a house in today's standards. Rolex increases the cost of their watches every year by 7-20%, so this watch is going to go up in value... don't trust me... watch the prices go up for yourself and see.

Along with new Rolex's going up in price... your used Rolex does too... eventually your used Rolex is worth more than you bought it new and you can sell it to break even or make profit... and thus the reason that so many collect these timepeices. Of course... if you want to invest your money... you can find a lot greater returns at a bank or financial advisor than in a Rolex.

If you buy this watch above MSRP, you are giving someone a LOT of money... wheras when you buy from Rolex... a large portion of the money goes to Charity... just a FYI.

Details on the watch - The Calibre 4130 (the movement inside the watch) is already being praised by watch authorities as one of the TOP 10 movements ever created... for it's simplicity, accuracy, and efficiency. It uses less components than other models and is very rugged... this is a watch you could wear jackhammering everyday all year and not have to worry about it breaking.

Poor Listing of Item, IMO Apr 11, 2010 By Nathaniel Ames "Nathaniel A"
I don't think adequate information is being given for a Rolex Daytona/Cosmograph timepiece.

First, there should be a model number, i.e. the first letter of the serial number. The later Daytonas which have the serial numer on the Rehaut of the watch are usually considered to be more valuable.

Second, if the timepiece is an older series Daytona, this means it has been sitting around for some time with the original lubricants drying up.

Third, I think it's only ethical to list the current retail price for a Stainless Steel Daytona. My understanding is sthat the full retail from an authorized dealer (AD) is $9,925. I acknowledge that Daytonas sell for more than the retail on the grey maket... and I know that ADs only receive about 2 per year, thus creating a demand that exceeds supply and hence the higher price. However, I believe than an AD can only charge the retail price.

Fourth, I don't believe it states clearly whether this is a new or pre-owned watch.

Lastly, there should be a firm statement whether the watch is being purchased through an AD, and hence would have the Rolex guarantee... otherwise who knows whether or not the watch store can provide any type of Rolex level repair, which... if they don't have a Rolex-trained repair person with about $100,000 investment of genuine Rolex tools, lubricants, availability to genuine Rolex parts, etc... they may well not.

All in all, for a watch in this price range I don't think Amazon is doing their job in protecting their customers.

That's my $.02.

BUYER BEWARE!! Feb 08, 2012 By T. Hughes "T. Hughes"
If this watch on Amazon (or any other website) is a "new" watch, it likely is not being offered by an Authorized Dealer, as internet sale of Rolex products by their dealers is expressly prohibited. Prohibited to the point that one such sale will cause immediate revocation of their "authorized dealer" status. As such, Rolex products purchased online ARE NEVER eligible for a factory Rolex warranty, even if it is a new watch. The only way the warranty could be registered from an online sale would involve fraud and violation of Rolex's dealer policies, thus implicating the purchaser and seller in a crime. Rolex is EXTREMELY protective of their product, pricing and dealers and has a zero tolerance policy for their dealers who do not comply--just ask some of the 20+ jewelry stores in Florida that were axed in the last 2 years or so.
Fakes are becoming more and more common, and harder to detect by those other than a jeweler who knows Rolex products. When all is said and done, there IS risk associated with buying a watch online advertised as Rolex. If you want to be assurred of the "genuine article" with a Rolex warranty, you must buy through an authorized dealer.

Beautiful timepiece Sep 30, 2009 By Eric S.
I recently bought a Rolex Yachtmaster and SS BLK Daytona. Of my watches the Daytona is by far my most valued timepiece. Because I bought more than one watch I was able to get a deal on both and paid much less than retail for both. I usually hear people talk about how expensive a Rolex is and that it's not worth it. My opinion is a man should own at least one Rolex in his life. If you are willing to shell out thousands on a diamond engagement ring for a marriage that may or may not last, then why not treat yourself to a piece of quality that you can actually pass down and that won't depreciate as fast as a diamond ring. In the end, by this watch because you like it, not for an investment or collector's item. Not many people even notice it when I wear it, but those that do appreciate the quality.

Comfortable to wear Feb 06, 2012 By ScoutnChief
Over the years I started to rely on my cell phone instead of wearing a watch. I had a Breitling as "jewelry" for the occasions when I needed to make the right impression, but otherwise most of the time I would wear no watch.

Then--for our 25th anniversary--my wife bought a Daytona for me...

I quickly found that the Daytona is a very comfortable watch to wear; has no sharp edges and does not feel too chunky or too heavy. So now I am back to wearing a watch every day; not because I need to, but because I want to.

In addition to being comfortable, the stainless Daytona seems tough enough for daily wear, and it makes me smile every day when I see it...
