Great advice LWC. It is a journey and we do make mistakes along the way. Last year I traded my 116520 (black) for a 116500 (panda) at grey market prices. Although I loved the Panda after 2 weeks of ownership I could not justify the grey market price. Fortunately my dealer allowed me to return it but by then my 116520 had been sold so we had to come to a financial arrangement which worked for both. It was a tough lesson. I will still love the Panda but only at retail. We live and learn 😁👍
@@dexterousling1875 OK, so I spend thousands of pounds purchasing a load of DayDates. Add that cost to the retail price of the Daytona, and your theory looks ridiculous. By the way, a lot is two words, not one.
@@cliffwheeler7357 Might as well pay the premium to a grey dealer to get one and let him buy the Daydates ( of which i have one) and other jewelry for the wife as go through all the hassle yourself of trying to sell that stuff later
When the pandemic hit in March, grey market prices took a brief but steep dip. I bought a panda dial 116500LN for $20,000 USD. Near unworn condition, full box and papers, and 2 years left on the factory warranty. It was hard to pull the trigger because it isn’t worth that much BUT I knew I would never get it for a better price and I could sell it at any time for a profit. I don’t regret buying it at all.
LWC it's good to see new content from You. On sunday morning there is nothing better than put on a wrist my favorite watch, get a coffe and watch Your channel. Take care !
@@dioaldinoharsono6746 Value is “what you get”? Really? If you talk about value in terms of real money the value is usually determined from what you can sell it for. If someone buy a Daytona for $20.000 in 2018 and sell for 22.000 in 2021 no one would say it was not worth $20.000 in 2018, or any other year after that before 2021?. Or have I missed something crucial....? Any object is worth the price the market values that item at any given time, the price goes up and down the same as a property, a share in a company or any asset you can imagine. To say “it’s not worth it” would be the same as saying a $10 bill is not worth $10 as it’s only a piece of paper and is worth much less as you can’t eat it, you can’t use it for anything practical other than a symbolic value.
@@dioaldinoharsono6746 That is my point. The price on the market reflects the value someone places on it. Value is subjective. One man's treasure is another man's junk.
@@truxton1000 Yes, you’re completely missing the point lol It seems you’re boiling “value” down to either practicality (you can eat it) or monetary (whether you can sell it for more money) measurements. Fine and good, but that’s not the point of watch collecting, is it? Watches aren’t practical. Your smartphone does most anything a watch can do, and does it better. Additionally, there’s not much monetary value in most watches as the price people are willing to pay for a used one is less than the price of a new one. However, the personal satisfaction one gets is really the measure of “value”. Some people probably couldn’t be paid to have a Daytona in their collection while others would pay more than $20k. If it makes the collector happy, then yes it’s brought “value” to the table.
@@TheJohnGalt1945 I think we agree totally, meaning of value is what someone is willing to pay, even if it’s only one person willing to pay $20.000 at that time or any given time that’s the value. So then it’s “worth it”. And watch collection is about that as well as several other things like interest, passion etc. About most watches not being a good investment at all that’s of course true, only Rolex, Patek and a few other exceptions have been and probably and maybe still will be good in the of course unknown future....
Always great to wake up with one of your videos my friend. Without doubt THE best watch collection on TH-cam. Still hoping once lockdown is over to pop into Harrods to discuss that Explorer. Stay safe and healthy.
Awesome music LWC good to have you back !! Nice reviews , as for the watches like you said best to buy from AD but as the stocks are low that is very rare.. price is what you are prepared to pay to be honest these watches price is going one way UP !!
White 116500, black 116520 is the right combination for 6 digits Daytona. However it is a pity you are having a buyer’s remorse as the black one is a grail for so many people. Although they have the same name and similar looks from far, the 16520 is a complete different watch once on your wrist. It is more delicate, has the vintage touch that will give you much satisfaction. You need to be very careful though as there are many variations that could fetch for single to 10 times the price. Thanks for sharing.
As a 20 year old who loves to set goals. Getting my first Rolex is as best of a short term goal possible. I’m slowly creeping up to being able to afford this comfortably and I can’t wait!
I got my 116710LN at 21 and to me it represents way more than just a watch and is something that will never leave me. Best of luck my dude, you will not regret it!
@@lapchoine6600 At the end of the day both are just useless pieces of jewelry that can tell the time as well as your phone can. At least Seiko isn't insanely overpriced like Rolex.

Lange if I wanted an ultra expensive watch.

It’s one absolutely beautiful watch, in my opinion, however I really don’t think it is worth 20.000£, or like 26.000€ for me. I don’t mind being on a waiting list and decided that I’m just going to wait for mine :) Great video, as always. Best regards from Germany 👍
The problem is you can’t get on the waiting list for them, especially in the UK. Not unless you have strong buyer history at that store and have purchased around £250k worth of watches there.
The people who complain that Rolex watches are overpriced are normally people who are not really into watches or they can't afford one themselves. Seven years ago, you could have probably walked into a authorised dealership and purchased any number of Rolex watches. That's exactly what I did. Seven or eight years I bought my Rolex "Hulk" Submariner directly from the local authorised Rolex dealership. In fact, I knew nothing about the green Rolex. I had every intention on just purchasing a Rolex with a black bezel. However, I was shown the green Rolex out of interest. It was only about £45 more expansive than the regular Rolex. So I decided to purchase it because it was different. I'm by glad I made that decision. I paid £6040 for the watch. I'm sure I don't need to say that there is every chance I get double my money now. I asked the same dealership if they could get me Rolex Daytona with a white dial. Two months later they contacted me to say they had got a Daytona, but it had a black dial. I wasn't going to worry about that. Again, I paid £7800 for the watch. I'm quite confident somebody would pay double that I offered it for sale. For me, the watches were certainly an excellent investment. But I think I managed to catch the boat before it sailed, leaving everybody else having to pay a premium for these watches now.
FYI Paul Newman Daytona was only sold to AD VIP customers. Paul Newman Daytona has always been popular. If you dont believe me, ask bigger collectors like Robert Maron! Dont believe everything you read on google. Great video!
A suggestion for future videos is that you discuss best watch options for under £10k, £5k etc, and a good starting watch for your collection. Love your channel and keep up the amazing work!
I'm kind of bored of Rolex now, your other pieces are far more interesting. I sold a OP Date last year and bought a new Tudor Pelagos and a used a Railmaster and still had money to spare. The Rolex brand is overhyped and overpriced.
I own a two tone zenith daytona with full set/papers. One of my best purchases even tho I know the two tone is not loved by all of us watch collectors. Great video!
Thank you LWC for putting the full song at 1:40. The music is so beautiful and it makes me emotional as well.. dont know why, has some nostalgic vibes to it. :)
I think if you will go for expensive watch its probably the best at least it holds its value or even go up in value. Other brands like hubolt is trash in value
ha ha ha good advice LWC! me talking to the wife:....."but LWC said if i can go a little over budget I should to get the watch I really want!!!" So I re-mortgaged the house and am now the proud owner of a Yellow Gold Green Dial Daytona! - Oh Happy Days!!!! :)
The coolest thing about collecting such high end watches is that you have such a great and emotionally rewarding hobby, and in fact you are not paying a penny for it (for those who don't get why - all this watches are kept in perfect condition and are only growing in price)!!
But you benefit from that only if you sell your watches. He’s a collector, not a flipper. He often mentions passing his watches down to his kids. He’s never going to see that money again.
@@martinc.720 yeah, this is what I am saying, I am not accusing him of being a flipper obviously. I am just saying that he is enjoying all those beautiful pieces, but should a need arise, he will always be able to liquidate them. He is doing all correctly.
Man you have I think the best collection of Watch that I know, not only you buy rare Pieces you also put a logic on it not only buy it because they are rare . I hope one day I will be able to create my own collection like you
Objectively there is nothing rare about his pieces. They are all current hot models. if you have the cash you can buy them from DavidSW and all the watches will be delivered to your door the next day. Having said that his watches are real nice though. Love the Patek Travel Time
I actually prefer the older black dial, steel tachometer Daytona here. Which surprised me, as I didn’t think I would. I don’t know, it has more “character” an absolute scratch magnet though. If worn on a regular basis I’d imagine.
I’m convinced a Rolex Daytona Ceramic is worth £20k. Ok demand maybe drop or rolex might increase production but still 90 percent of people will not be able to get them at retail. Is a Patek 5980 in steel worth £60k? Is a Royal Oak worth 26-30k. Is your house which was made in the 80s worth the same prices in 2021? When will people see it’s worth what people will pay
@@ATIWatchReviews the text “oyster perpetual superlative chronometer officially certified cosmograph” makes this look amateurish imo. All text for show, unnecessary on the dial
If you look at it objectively, it is too busy; especially with the bezel. I'm a huge fan of Rolex, but I would pass on a Daytona if my AD offered one to me. I would jump on a blue Skydweller though.
“I had to work around that budget.” 43,000 pounds. Dude, if that’s your yearly watch budget, you didn’t need to have a watch budget. Beautiful watches.
I spent on my panda Daytona $18k and I love it... one day I maybe lucky to get the 116520 in good condition and good price 🙏 . Thanks for those kind of videos
The steel Daytona is the only offering from the brand that has consistently traded for over retail for decades, it also fetched the highest price at auction with the Paul Newman hitting $17.8-Million ☝🏻🥴
He hasn't revealed his source, but it's a site that produces backgroud music and other things, and you can buy a track, and the track then becomes your music. No-one else can then buy it. I'd love to know the site. Maybe if he does another Q&A he'll give more details. Think he originally stated it on his first Q&A.
You have over 30 watches (if i am not wrong) , don't you feel bad for some watches that don't get enough wrist time? (Like even if you change your watch everyday then also one watch will get 12 days a year)
I have a question for you: I know you centre your collection to only stainless steel, but do you think you will eventually convert to precious metals in addition? Any particular reason to only stay with stainless steel timepieces?
I suspect some folks who claim to be addicted to watches, might actually be addicted to BUYING watches (or perhaps "acquiring" watches). If there were actually true affection for HAVING watches, why are so many purchases very quickly followed by the impulse to purchase others? Perhaps because the rush isn't from HAVING the watch - the rush is from the three-step process of desiring the watch, looking for the watch, acquiring the watch. I think more emphasis should be put on loving the watches you have rather than the ones you don't...
Rolex = cost and value, they arent worth what they cost to make, it is what someone is willing to pay for it, and that is why the world is up thee eyes in debt 👍
That was a very interesting video and it’s put my mind at rest , I recently purchased an submariner date ( 116610) from a pre owned dealer for 3000 pounds over list which I felt bad about but the watch was brand new fully stickered and I have been on many wait lists so just went for it . So thank you for doing this video as usual it was top class .
People complain notoriously for Rolex being overpriced, Grey market or AD! Majority of these people can’t and will never be able to afford a Rolex, so they bitch and have excuses, they buy substitute Rolex watches! Compared to the prices of Patek and AP, Rolex’s are a bargain! The craftsmanship, workmanship, quality, appreciation for value, Rolex out performs and last longer than these boutiques fragile watches! Buy what floats your boat, don’t bitch and complain!
Good morning Hope you and your family and friends are all keeping well and healthy and positive Two iconic Rolex watches so beautiful and i always enjoy watching and listening to your video's you have such passion for watchers and your collection .have a lovely weekend best wishes
Your second thought about buying KEMIT for that kind of money for a Date Day was exactly what I did. I enjoyed the presidential Watch Day Date 40 much much much more. The hype of paying such overprice for a steel watch is not worth it.
For £20k you can get a used Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph or a used Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Chronographe . They both make the Daytona look rather boring.
In my opinion, no. If money was no issue I’d plump for the Reference 126619LB, the white gold Sub. Stunning watch on the wrist. Understated but beautiful

Your collection is very impressive. I totally agree that it is better to stretch the budget a little bit for something extra special.
You are so right on the fact that the zenith Daytona was the Daytona to buy.
I spent on my panda Daytona $18k and I love it... one day I maybe lucky to get the 116520 in good condition and good price 🙏 . Thanks for those kind of videos
Whats that for an music at minute 2:53?
wooooow! Awesome Video!!!! 100% agree!!
The steel Daytona is the only offering from the brand that has consistently traded for over retail for decades, it also fetched the highest price at auction with the Paul Newman hitting $17.8-Million ☝🏻🥴
Would you ever buy a cheaper range watch ( ie a Citizen) if you liked the look of it ?
What’s the background music he uses?
He hasn't revealed his source, but it's a site that produces backgroud music and other things, and you can buy a track, and the track then becomes your music. No-one else can then buy it. I'd love to know the site. Maybe if he does another Q&A he'll give more details. Think he originally stated it on his first Q&A.
I have the song, can send it to you for 5$
Yesterday i bought my first rolex, a gmt master 16700
Congrats
@@synapsolustv4026 thanks man, in the 2 days i own it, it hasn’t left my wrist.
Any chance of you purchasing the Seiko Captain Willard and reviewing it ?
What does he mean by getting a full set? I don’t understand. 7:44
have you seen the zenith chronomaster sport? what are your thoughts?
You have over 30 watches (if i am not wrong) , don't you feel bad for some watches that don't get enough wrist time? (Like even if you change your watch everyday then also one watch will get 12 days a year)
I suspect LWC keeps these watches in a safe. He probably wears one or two on a regular basis.
I have a question for you: I know you centre your collection to only stainless steel, but do you think you will eventually convert to precious metals in addition? Any particular reason to only stay with stainless steel timepieces?
I suspect some folks who claim to be addicted to watches, might actually be addicted to BUYING watches (or perhaps "acquiring" watches). If there were actually true affection for HAVING watches, why are so many purchases very quickly followed by the impulse to purchase others? Perhaps because the rush isn't from HAVING the watch - the rush is from the three-step process of desiring the watch, looking for the watch, acquiring the watch. I think more emphasis should be put on loving the watches you have rather than the ones you don't...
Rolex = cost and value, they arent worth what they cost to make, it is what someone is willing to pay for it, and that is why the world is up thee eyes in debt 👍
That was a very interesting video and it’s put my mind at rest , I recently purchased an submariner date ( 116610) from a pre owned dealer for 3000 pounds over list which I felt bad about but the watch was brand new fully stickered and I have been on many wait lists so just went for it . So thank you for doing this video as usual it was top class .
I got a perfect quality Fake one and everyone says it’s real and is soo impressed by it 💪🏽.
Gives me kudos

People complain notoriously for Rolex being overpriced, Grey market or AD! Majority of these people can’t and will never be able to afford a Rolex, so they bitch and have excuses, they buy substitute Rolex watches! Compared to the prices of Patek and AP, Rolex’s are a bargain! The craftsmanship, workmanship, quality, appreciation for value, Rolex out performs and last longer than these boutiques fragile watches! Buy what floats your boat, don’t bitch and complain!
What are the music tracks found in this video please - shazam cannot detect it. Thank you
Good morning
Hope you and your family and friends are all keeping well and healthy and positive Two iconic Rolex watches so beautiful and i always enjoy watching and listening to your video's you have such passion for watchers and your collection .have a lovely weekend best wishes
What’s the music you use at around the 2 min mark ?
What do you think of H Moser Pioneer center seconds? I think that really matches your taste (especially blue fume dial)
Can you please post the music used for the senematic shots.
Rolex is an investment the longer you own one the more it's worth and as long as you keep it looking good.
Another great video :)
where did you get the royal oak book from? can you purchase that online?
You should try this new thing called Google. I heard it works quite well.
What are the two Songs of LWC called?
What is the best bait watch to lure the dancers off the stage?
Would you ever go for a Jacob&Co piece?
Simple answer is yes of course 🤘🥰
Love your Daytona videos.
Your second thought about buying KEMIT for that kind of money for a Date Day was exactly what I did. I enjoyed the presidential Watch Day Date 40 much much much more. The hype of paying such overprice for a steel watch is not worth it.
For £20k you can get a used Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph
or a used Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Chronographe
. They both make the Daytona look rather boring.
Of course not. But as long as people are willing to pay 20K then that's how much it goes for it.
in Australia is impossible to get these watches .... sad
Absolutely stunning. However, some of us need to separate lust and love for watches!
Love mine, and was offered 29k to buy it off my wrist. I decided it was worth keeping. So I guess it’s worth it if someone will pay it.
Where is your collection update?
For traders: I am not sure
For self wearing: Definitely not. Avoid pure stainless steel watch for luxury watch. Get some bling.
In my opinion, no. If money was no issue I’d plump for the Reference 126619LB, the white gold Sub. Stunning watch on the wrist. Understated but beautiful
Now that was a full set review!! Thanks for posting great content
