Frequently Asked Questions

Which Daytona reference is the most collectible?
The 116500LN (steel ceramic) is the modern grail — multi-year AD waitlist, retail premium of 50–100% on the secondary market. The 16520 “Zenith” Daytona and 6263 “Paul Newman” are vintage collector-tier references commanding six-figure prices for top-condition examples.
How can I tell a real Daytona from a fake?
Counterfeit Daytonas are sophisticated. We verify caliber 4130 (modern) or El Primero / Valjoux (vintage) via movement opening, dial print quality, sub-dial alignment, bezel font, crown logo, and bracelet stamping. Photographic documentation retained on every piece we sell.
Do you have steel ceramic Daytonas in stock?
Steel ceramic 116500LN (white or black dial) availability rotates frequently — check our Daytona inventory page for live status. We accept advance reservations for incoming pieces with refundable deposits.
What about the white-gold or rose-gold Daytona?
Yes. We carry 116519LN (white gold), 116508 (yellow gold), 116515LN (Everose), 116595RBOW (rainbow), and other precious-metal references. Each is verified, period-correct, and shipped with documentation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Wire transfer (preferred for any transaction over $5,000), major credit cards up to inventory limits, certified bank check, and trade-ins toward any piece in our inventory. Same-day Zelle is available for verified Jersey City clients on lower-ticket transactions.
How do you price your Daytonas?
We benchmark against Chrono24 active inventory, recent eBay completed listings, Phillips/Sotheby’s/Christie’s auction results, and direct dealer wholesale comps. Our ask is typically 5–10% under retail-market median for equivalent condition.
