I love both the white and gold examples. Are they worth $300K? YES. Easily the best new Rolex available. The people that have this watch do not need money, they have spent millions with Rolex to be allocated one and are hand selected. It makes sense they are $300k. They will hold their value. The white gold was only produced 1 year and I expect the yellow to follow. I am guessing they make 1,000 of each. Maybe 100?
Saw one in person and it does look amazing, those Subdials are 🔥 These will hold their “value” as will be super limited production. White gold model was only produced for 1 year before being discontinued.
Eric is now on a vintage journey! Great release from Rolex. A 116528 Paul Newman dial gold Daytona is the value proposition at 35-40k. Whoever can buy this at 300k is not looking at value. Will it hold its value at 300k, no one knows. I agree that a vintage Newman is more special and my choice. Great talking vintage with you on Friday. I an the guy with the 1675 pepsi. It means a lot that you liked my watch, those orangy markers. Enjoy your new gold sub with the insane dial, its a keeper!
100% this is my favorite Rolex to date. I am a huge yellow gold fan having Day-date, Sky-dweller and Daytona all in yellow gold now on top of being a huge racing fan. I will be in the pits for 2025 Le Mans my self. I would LOVE to have one but I would never paid more then about $10k over retail which means I'll never get one sadly. I have this watch in my wish list at Rolex AD but we all know I'll never see it.
I think they made only 100 examples of the white gold version. So I guess there’s 100 of the yellow. Rose version will probably drop next year, then done.
Eric, on the 24 hour chrono, does it move every 30 mins or every hour? As the minute counter at 3pm only counts to 30 mins. The normal Daytona hour chrono moves every 30 mins, meaning it moves 24 times in 12 hours.
I'd take the extra gold and more water resistance with a closed case back but I guess they had to do something more to make it stand out. I hope they will put a ceramic bezel on the other full gold Daytonas at some point
Thanks for sharing. I cant believe this but im liking the white gold much more. I think a golden subdial like a vintage JPS would be better, or a golden Panda version, on the yellow gold
You mean it has a See through case, the dial is nice and the bezel is cool …that’s a cool watch … and if you play you play… it’s a game right ? Who has the biggest ring or the most rare and epsebvie watch … I would rather buy a Romain Gauthier or Kari voutilainen or like even Patek chrono perpetual in a red gold bracelet to show off … but I guess some people like things more rare than expensive
For the few people who have a spare 300k sitting around that they can drop on a Rolex, then it might be worth that to them. It's all relative. The better question is this, is 300k for that watch an inflated price and is it likely to come crashing down after the bubble bursts. It will always be a big money watch.. but not 300k big. That's a bubble for sure.
Hey Watch Eric, I watch all of your videos & I love the continuity of the way they are staged by the sea & yet brother, you do not ever mention water resistance even though it must occur to you that you're right beside the water!😂 I personally think you need to be punished for this oversight by being thrown in the water with one of your watches on!😂 Jokes aside (although there's 60% truth to every joke), I do love all your content but I think definitely for the sake of continuity, relevance & improvement you really ought to mention water resistance please as part of your reviews. It would be so helpful & honestly every single time I see the sea in your videos, I always hope you will but I end up getting dissapointed that you don't. Anyway sorry cause I should have mentioned this ages ago but seeing an open case back daytona really tipped me over the edge (forgive the punn)! At least you know now bro 🙏🏼 Keep up the great work in any case & happy new year 🥳 Yeeeewwwww 😎🏄🤙
That’s off catalog Daytona.The white gold was discontinued only a few months after it was released.The people that are close friends of Rolex business executives, celebrities that work with Rolex, special clients of major flagship Rolex AD’s will be offered these Daytona’s. Even for a grey market dealer it’s very difficult to find. You are better off getting a few vintage Paul Newmans for the money.
The yellow gold and sapphire case back is fantastic... when you learn it is in the $300Ks on the Grey Market tells me something is way wrong. $50K at retail is high.. what is going on.. paying over retail is nuts 🥜 (just my opinion) nice watch though.
I'm done with Rolex, after they took our local. These are ship away here in Daytona Beach, Florida. Tom cook jewelers was a very good Rolex dealer in. I have bought several watches from them. No more
Love Cheryl, Kevin, Sarah, and the rest of the team. The best! It’s really sad that we don’t have a local AD here in this iconic Rolex town. Shame on Rolex.
I was wanting to buy a sky dweller, but now I'm so disappointed. In Rolex that I don't think I'll ever buy another new Rolex or a used one I have a couple, and that's all I need part of the Rolex experience was to go into your local AD. And fulfill your dreams very sad
I predict that in a decade or two, that Rolex will go for way above $300k at auctions due to rarity. I can almost guarantee that it will be discontinued very soon like the white gold model. Remember that noone thought the vintage Newman models would fetch the prices they are now. The problem is that people don't think long term.
$300k for a Rolex when they produced 1,200,000 watches last year. Hmmmmm - doesn’t sound like an exclusive watchmaker . They have produced over 50 million watches in the last 100 years. All I can say is that their marketing is second to none.
Rolex is about to collapse. All the people they alienated (and still are). PM models across the board are sitting, and will get a 7% increase. New production capacity coming online. If you like it, buy it. But everything sans SS Daytonas and GMTs will not hold value.
Anybody who spends $300k on a watch should first give serious consideration to spending $3k to have their head examined. I think Justin Sun, the guy who paid $6.2 million for a banana got a better deal. At least he ate the banana.
@@WatchEric I love watches, and now I can buy the ones that were once out of reach because the watch market is dead, face down. By the way, I have loved watches for 30 years, before it got stupid; it's just getting back to normality.
@@dakkmann Only a fool would buy this for 300k, you sound like one, but I bet you haven't got 300k lol, but you do sound like a window licker lollipop sucker, who is fully vaxxed, haha
This is THE single greatest Daytona I ever made and I will not rest until I have one ☝️
300k, F yeah, that's a steal, why get an Audemars Piguet or a Vacheron, or a Lange, or a Patek, or a H Moser etc. when you can get this Rolex.
Lol

Hands down best Rolex on the market
The movement, the history the clear case back, the ceramic bezel the red marker… the list goes on.
I want one
I agree with Eric. If I had 300k to pay for a watch, I wouldn’t buy it. I would go vintage.
🎯
vintage's are small on the wrist and bears a 'fragile' feel avoiding use them everyday as Rolexes should be = you need both ;)
Are the stickers on it aftermarket? I thought they remove them when you buy it at the dealer shop.
These are Rolex factory stickers
Saw one in person and it does look amazing, those Subdials are 🔥

It’s a gold rolex for 300k. Yes it’s rare but $300,000 for a modern Rolex is ludicrous.
1:51 the white gold is also 24 hours.

This watch is beautiful
Beautiful! Love the throwback sub dials.
Those are pistons baby 🏎️
i dont like gold watches. but this one looks really good.
I think they made only 100 examples of the white gold version.
So I guess there’s 100 of the yellow.

Team white gold all the way, I'm just not a gold guy even with two tones but each to their own of course!
One of the most Miami videos I’ve ever seen. Not in a good way 😂. Fuck this city has some characters.
Nice video mate 🥃🏌🏽♂️
Best looking Daytona ❤
I'd take the extra gold and more water resistance with a closed case back but I guess they had to do something more to make it stand out. I hope they will put a ceramic bezel on the other full gold Daytonas at some point
Thanks alot for the video
That is a good looking Watch
Thanks for watching!
It is stunning, I love it (at retail). I would never pay market for this, 300k is insane.
Its a very special timepiece 😮by a very special brand an absolute modern day classic❤
Grail Daytona.
Although looks quite big with the new proportions/bezel design.
Nonetheless, a future classic.
It looks good
10/10. Surreal
Thanks for sharing. I cant believe this but im liking the white gold much more. I think a golden subdial like a vintage JPS would be better, or a golden Panda version, on the yellow gold
Hey Eric, That`s the One !!!! The top Dog ..... Love it Great Job
It’s the tip of the spear of Rolex watches IMO. It is sooo much more than just a PM Daytona.
The sticks and squares on the subdials are made to look like pistons 😉
That wasn’t their intention but it did workout that way. It’s really a homage to the dial maker Rolex use to commission for their watches, Singer.
I’ll take the White Gold at 200k
300k US$ , this will crash, how can it not.
300k for a proclaimed rare daytona but in the end just a daytona in precious metal…….
Special movement
No watch is worth $300k

It's called marketing, bro!
I love this watch, I use the hours subdial as a GMT hand.

Yasssssss super Nice ❤
They took our local dealership away from Tom cook. I am not going to deal with rolex.Anymore
The White gold is class, this one not so much so.
Erik, I have been waiting for this video, amazing watch, but not the price, maybe 50K above the platona would be fair.
It’s kinda steep but I’m not able to buy one anyway. It may come down in future, but probably not for a while. What do you think reader?
If I could have 1 watch in gold, it'd be this.
Awesome timepiece, would love to own it. But for that price I'm going with a Patek without thinking twice about it.

Too small
The literal "home" of the Daytona. Rolex said the best we can do is go to Orlando...

Only because of Paul Newman.
300 be hillarious on that, nothing against the watch itself.. the price is out to lunch
I'm sure your friend loves seeing you hold it right next to the water 🤣🤣🤣

No. I could buy a top end Lange for that.
Mehhh. But understand
The red 100 is an eye sore.
Rolex: “Good news everyone, we’ve launched a new watch! Go and buy it!”
Everyone: 🙄
Buying a vintage Paul Newman is a way better purchase at $300k
Agree

Is it my favorite in production Rolex? Of course it is the watch is absolutely awesome, but I am not wealthy enough to throw 300K for a Daytona 😅
Niiiice❤❤❤❤
Nice, i like it but only for retail.
I know what you mean.
Yes. Yes it is.
E , I like your videos . this watch is VERY NICE -crazy price ( 300k ) - HAVE A WONDERFUL 2025 E. . be safe ~. JDS/CT
Thanks for the watch love. 🤝
I want one badly!
Keep it
Nice watch but $300k 😮ridiculous!
Esta hermosooooo ❤
Just another Daytona!!!
case back 👏👏👏👏
Amazing watch…unfortunately way out of my league! Who ever gets it, enjoy!!!!
$300k is 3 bitcoins. No big deal. Black shirt, black dial. It easy
Hell yes
I think 300k is too much for it. I would wait.
Watch market is dead.. get it through your heads. Ask sweet kid kino Eric 😂😂 anybody pay 300k for a mass produced watch needs to see a doctor
👌
300k isn't insane because the people that it's made for are worth 100s of millions plus.
Balls. Stop generalizing
300k ? No thanks I’ll go buy an aircooled 911 Turbo. I completely understand the status thing sure if you want exclusivity.
Aesthetical themes lol
that watch is so Hot.....want 1 thanks Eric cheers
It really is!
