Well, everything is my personal forecast on the market base on the understanding from friend, managers at Rolex, and dealers....

For those who had deposit to me., don't worry about it, there must have some time slot that there is surge of stock that price may drop all in sudden, then that is the price for you to get it as a bonus buy!

Rolex Daytona Ceramic Ref.116500 White

As I have found most of the AD has this Watch now as of Today. As I talked to one of the major AD at Nathan Road today, they have just got one white Panda Today.

Price is HKD$140,000, well, I should not work as Blogger, but a fortune teller as two months ago in my blog I had mentioned that the price of HK$140,000.

There is a chance to have the price lower, but don't forget under limited supply of Rolex,
When the price is lowered to say HK$130,000, the demand surges, and the price will up again.

A bit not to be optimistic that this watch price will likely remain HKD$140,000 till September.
If you want to get a lower price one, may be buying from Gray dealer, there may still has a chance to go lower to HK$135,000 with in these two to three weeks time.

Let's see

Rolex Daytona Ceramic Ref.116500LN supply status

 

Rolex is very good in marketing, as the basic rule to determine price is the relation of demand and supply.

We had experienced that with the GMT master II Blue black Ref.116710BLNR. In the first few months of launch, I even could buy at Rolex AD with 5% discount… The first one I bought for a Vietnam visitor back into 2014 July.

After two months, there we could not find any stock at Rolex AD, only from Gray Dealers!

I describe this phenomenon as “U” shapes supply cycle…

Initially Rolex will ship more in the first three months, such that more people can see this watch, there created more talks at Blog, fb, IG… provided that watch is beautiful and having a few nice feature. More and more people will try to buy… well, then we will fall into the flat or bottom minimum supply cycle, price will shoot up from gray dealer, of course we cannot get any watch at Rolex AD unless you are SVIP.

After two three years then there will be more supply as both the gray dealer price even may be  higher than you could buy in AD. As by that time, there will be new Rolex model launching in the market.

After two years the Batman was launched, Still we can hardly find any stock at AD… and with gray dealer, the price is still high between HK$63,000 to HK$65,000. (MSRP is HK$67,300)

How about this iconic Daytona, a Panda like Cosmograph with ceramic bezel, if you think Rolex will give each Rolex AD one watch a month!? That could be a dream, may be one watch in one Quarter!

As I expected that market price would be high as HKD$140,000 in my Blog post in April. it comes true today...

Now we can see the price is running between HK$138,000 to HKD$147,000!

This is the start of the “U” Cycle”, most of the Rolex AD can get one or two in a month… after a few months, we should expect less in supply or even zero… or they can ship all HK supply to other country likewise send say Singapore supply to HK one day…and keeps the Rolex Fans of HK and Singapore in Hunger!

Then the price could shoot go up more than HK$140,000!

Of course this is my guess, but if I were Rolex, I will do the same!

Note that the White one is even more difficult to get as  compare with older generation Ref.116520LN though price is same now for White or Black, in long terms I am sure White is more expensive that black!

So I think, if you can afford, but now, or you will not get it as easy as it is now!

 

For this model, I think the bottom line of the "U" cycle could last a long period of time!

6 reasons why you should get the new Rolex Daytona Ceramic 116500LN

The new Rolex Daytona Ref.116500LN was released at this year’s Baselworld. We know that it will be a crazy hit for any watch enthusiast. However, if you are still thinking about whether to save up for the watch, here are six reasons why you actually should.

1.      It is an icon.

For years, the Rolex Daytona has been one of the most celebrated watches in the world. In the world of Rolex, it represents the most expensive model of Rolex’s stainless steel watches (the Yacht Master ii excluded). If you want to upgrade from your world of Submariners and GMTs, it is time to get a Daytona.

2.      The new ceramic bezel

The 116500LN features a black ceramic bezel. As we all know, a ceramic bezel is scratch-proof. On the 116520 Daytona which features a polished stainless steel bezel, one of the big problems is that the bezel attracts a lot of scratches. We can often see second-hand 116520 which are full of scratches on the bezel, the most obviously seen part of the watch. With that said, it is easier for you to keep your watch as mint as possible with the new 116500LN.

3.      The only “complicated” stainless steel Rolex

The Rolex Daytona is the only stainless steel Rolex with a complication (GMT function excluded). It has been Rolex’s only chronograph for years. Although you may not fully utilize the chronograph function, it might be time for you to taste something different from your three-hand time-only watch.

4.      Increased accuracy

As Rolex is now imposing new standards other than the COSC standards they have been observing, Rolex watches are now +2/-2 per day according to their new independent certification.

5.      “Panda” style

If you have been in the watch world for long enough, or not so long, you may have noticed how expensive a “Paul Newman” Daytona 6263 is, especially those that feature a “Panda” dial. The new 116500LN white dial version features something similar. The three black sub-dial rings sit on the while dial which gives you a close-to-Paul-Newman experience.

6.  It is Rolex!

2016 Daytona Ceramic Ref 116500LN

 

 

It seems official MSRP price has been released overseas but not yet in Rolex  AD HK.

The Overseas price is US$12,400

Converted to HKD is HK$96,100

Since there is launch of this new Daytona soon in August/September.

There we can see there is something happened.

The dealer is keen on keeping up old stock of Ref 116520.

So we can see two extremes, price is very high as Black HK$97,000 and White HK$94,000 which is almost $9,000 higher than it as in 2015.

Rolex Had discontinued the production of older version Ref 116520.

So there is lesser new unit in the market, What I can see is that a lot of people will keep waiting for new one 116500LN, and on the other hand, many people will try to buy the pre-owned one which still stand at a quite reasonable price say for black HK$76,000 to 88,000.

So, what is your choice?

1. Wait for new Daytona C Ref 116500LN ?
2. Go to buy high for new old stock of Ref 116520?
3. Go buy a pre-owned 116520?

Note , As for those who made a reservation to me on new Daytona Ceramic Ref 116500LN.

I would like to collect deposit of US$4,000 or will have hard time to mobilize my cash flow to buy for all you Fans of the new Daytona. of course those who offers me deposit would get it with priority!

Up to now I have 11 reserved for White and 1 black!
(1 from BR, AU, SIN, UK and rest are all from the Philippines.)

It is quite sarcastic that HKWF being a HK Blogger does not get any request from HK... LOL!

Note that one renowned HK Rolex AD in TST has been offering their client with HKD$140K for the new Daytona C. Knowing that the list has been queuing up over 60.

This new Daytona C will create a lot of heats at least 5X of GMT Master II BLNR Batman and Deep Sea Blue...

Let's watch out!

HK Snob

PS , I almost forget the Singaporean Friend is actually working in HK, so he is a HK potential buyer.

2016 Daytona price will soar up!

One ROLEX AD in Tsim Sha Tsui accepts the reservation of Rolex BaselWorld Daytona
Ref 115600LN now.

The long list includes 30 pieces Daytona White.

They speculate price will be up to level of HKD$140,000.

Hong Kong should receive some batches of watches by Summer.
