Discount Watches

12000!!!!!
Who in god's name is dumb enough to waste even a 1000$ on a stupid watch!?!?!?

Sure sign of white trash
Overly large, clunky, and un-elegan (not to mention over priced). FAR better, and better looking watches are available for less. All anyone pays for when it comes to rolex is their marketing budget.

Poor Listing of Item, IMO
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 ,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 0,000 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.

Why am i paying ,000?!
Ok, i give this watch 2 stars not because I own one, but I have a question... Why is this watch ,000 and not have a single piece of gold on it? If I was going to buy a rolex that costed that much money, I want the watch to be made of gold! Can someone explain why this watch cost this much? What is so special about this? Maybe i need to be educated?

Lipstick on a pig
Technology wise Rolex watches are completely outdated. Not only should you be able to expect %99.9999 (four nines) accuracy for several hundred years including getting leap years right without any human interaction and day time savings using a one time set up, you should also be able to expect to never bring a watch back to a repair/maintenance shop over its life time (25-50 years minimum). Rolex watches are like GM cars right now, they constantly require maintenance. This is not a sign of quality but of failure. The materials used in Rolex watches are top of the line, but time keeping technology wise these watches are at least 50 years behind.

Rolex: build a watch which lasts 100 years without any maintenance and I'll pay a ton of bucks for it with the great design you have now. Self-winding, solar, climate independent, whatever, at least embrace new technology and understand how to elevate B00025GPES quartz or analog technology to something which is worth of of the name Rolex. Right now we got lip stick on a pig.
