Got a call from my AD on a SS/Gold Daytona. Brand new at MSRP ($19K). Am I crazy to not pick up? Not really my preferred aesthetic, but imagine this is sought after.

Pass. And pass fast. You don’t love it and it’s not one that maintains its value. It’s actually one of the few that you’d take a hit on.

Outside of not buying something you don’t want, especially at 19k, it’s worth noting that these are easier to find too

Probably one of the least desirable Daytona models…if there’s such a thing. Hard pass

Don’t do it dude. You’ve already said your not a fan. Plus, when the Rolex bubble pops you’re gonna be left holding an expensive bag.

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(
