I’m on the hunt for one of my grails: a 16520 Daytona Zenith white dial, ideally from the late ’90’s. It’s a GOAT watch for me and represents an incredible time in my life so I’m locked in on this being a watch I want.

This watch isn't impossible to find....there are listings in a few places so I have options and am in no hurry to find the right deal. However....

I found the below listing from Maximiliano at MVV watches. I know he comes highly recommended on the Rolex Forums site and posts watches for sale often. Many recommend his MVV site for vintage watches, too. So, I believe he has solid credentials.

His watch is a new old stock ’99 16520, white dial, A-serial (right in the wheelhouse) and looks incredible. Feels like it would be tough to top this one. Trouble is, it’s $38,000….way above typical secondary prices of high $20’s/low $30k but that’s clearly the new old stock value talking.

What do you think about this?

FWIW, once I find this grail watch, I’m going to wear it, not baby it, and pass it it to one of my kids someday. Given that, should I just be hunting a solid version of the 16520 in the high $20s range? Is this new old stock premium outrageous? Or is it worth it b/c they’re so hard to come by in this condition?

WWYD?

Appreciate any insights!

Hello,

I am debating whether or not pick up a pre-owned 2022 Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 Dark Side Of The Moon 311.92.44.30.01.001 (Dark Side of the Moon). Last serviced in June 2025. Full set

What do you all think? good deal? meh? walk away?

Thanks!

Sorry, I may have posted this question for Federico in the wrong place...

Hi Federico, I've been offered a new in the box Singer Flytrack Cocktail Timer limited Edition - one of twelve for 11k. Would this be a smart buy? I believe Singers are typically much pricier but I just don't know enough about them. Thank you.

So talking to an AD for white dial 70s Chrono and they're offering 9k for my IWC Pilots Chrono and Blue Dial Santos du Mont 4k and 5k respectivel. This would bring my out of pocket to 9k for the GO. Would you guys do it? Loosing a little on the IWC and about breaking about even for the Cartier.

The GO is probably one of the last few available at an AD since its a special ed.

I was offered an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "Commander's Watch", ref. 212.32.41.20.04.001. It's a 2017 watch, in very good condition (some minor scratches on the bracelet) and a full set (special box, papers, extra strap, strap tool all in perfect condition).

The seller is reputable (an AD for various brands and an official Omega service center) and the price includes a full service on the watch upon sale. Asking price is $6,450 (EUR 5,500 - tax included), but the seller already told me he could get a discount, so I'm pretty sure I can get it down to $5,850 (EUR 5,000). Do you think that's a good price?

Thanks,

Eric
