      Yes I think so a few surprises in there but expected the majority of the full gold and two tones to be towards the bottom which is the same with most other models currently I think in regards to above rrp, It does seem crazy that some precious metal pieces are cheaper than the stainless steel versions.

    I rewatched this video again, and i found it very informative. It’s interesting how much difference in value the dial can make. Also factory diamonds on Daytona plays a huge role compared to the other models. Also I found very interesting that the combination of dial and gem stones creates a scarcity in the watch.

      I wish someone could do the same for Datejusts including for ladies. There are also some hidden gems only few people know about. Also smaller watches are more popular in Asia. For example in Vietnam people will buy 36mm Datejust and Daydate before they will buy Daytona or GMT

      @cookingwithwatches 3 місяці тому +1

      @@Watchtrader My opinion is unlikely to be of interest to anyone, but since I was asked. I think stainless steel sport watches specifically Daytonas are overrated. Putting them on par with precious metal watches and above two tone watches is simply ridiculous. There are exceptions to the rules, such as a rare dial. But this does not apply to the modern Daytonas with black and white dials.

    By placing diamonds on the Bezel, the main functional characteristics of the watch that makes it a Daytona, ie being able to measure the speed of the vehicle from the time it takes to cover a fixed distance is completely loss! So these models cannot be really called Daytona. They are just some fancy blink blink watches that has a Chronograph 🤭🤣🤣🤣 For me, Daytona Meteorite wins any day anytime. Low key understatement that many celebrities features on their wrist as well!
