    $200 USD in 1963 adjusted for inflation is just south of $2K today. The Crown doesn’t offer anything in that range - I don’t think the Shield does, either. Rolex put a lot of work into their in-house movement so I’m glad it gets some appreciation.

    I always loved this watch, then in 1981 I bought one.
    I even opted for the jubilee bracelet instead of the oyster.
    Under one thousand dollars tax included.
    When I got home I realized it wasn’t a chronometer so I returned it for a GMT master. It’s been with me all these years I love it.
    But I should never have returned the Dayton.
    For around two grand vi could have had them both.Big mistake.

    I got a GMT after 10 months and am brand new to watches. Don't pay double markup on a new watch. Work it a little and pay retail. Don't be an ass. Be likeable. Be enthisiastuc and know something about the prodrct that fits you and let that info out in your conversation.

    Does anyone know was it Jerry Seinfeld that bought the 17m Daytona.I own a new GMT and bought it at retail and also own a 1986 sub that was a gift but for anyone that has not held the Daytona in their hand it doesn't really justify even the retail price over the GMT.If you hold both in your hand the Daytona feels so much more of being the cheaper watch and as well most people would be surprised just how small it feels compared to the GMT or Sub. For me the best looking Rolex in person is the sub bluesy with steel and gold but when I was shown the GMT that I could take home right then I couldn't get out of there fast enough and count my blessings. The GMT pepsi is a much better everyday watch over the Daytona or bluesy sub.Funny thing though people rave about the Rolex buying experience and I disagree .When you leave the store you feel like your sort of buying someones love if that makes any sense.

    Another video with loosely goosey use of the term “gray”. Gray market watches are watches with unactivated warranties direct from ADs looking to offload excess inventory at wholesale prices. Rolex and most other manufacturers cracked down on gray market by taking away AD status or going boutique only. The gray market is almost gone, especially for Rolex and Patek What’s left is the USED market. Except dealers dont like that term because it devalues their product.
