Vintage Rolex Daytona?
I am a clock guy, jumping boards...

I am interested in picking up a Vintage Rolex Daytona.

One I could wear, so mint condition would not be an issue.. but it would need to be clean.

What would I have to pay to get one these days?

What are the differences between the models (vintage models)

Thanks for your help,

Justin

Hi Justin,
Please define vintage. Do you want a Paul Newman model or just an older steel model. You will spend anywhere between 6k and 22k good luck on your search. I had 6 steel Daytona's last year all new or like new models and they all sold in excess of 8.5k

I have wanted one for along time,I bought a new SS daytona in 2004...thinking it would work... not my cup of tea.

I would like to spend around 10K

I will get some books out tomorrow and give you the Newman reference numbers. Is the 2004 for sale?

I was lucky to get it, I called my local Rolex dealer in SLC asking about a SS Daytona.

He got one in the day before (The first in 12 months)

I drove down with cash and paid him $500 over Rolex retail and brought it home.

After a few months I decided I wanted a vintage Daytona...

I used it in a trade towards a high end musical clock a few months back... needless to say it was not hard to get rid of.
