Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona for a while now, you know, the yellow gold one. It’s a real beauty, and I finally decided to take the plunge. I started by scouring the internet, just browsing through different online stores to see what’s out there and compare prices, that kind of thing.
I stumbled upon a few listings, and one of them caught my eye, it listed at around $74,850. It came with the green dial, the reference number was 116508, and it was the new card with box and papers. Sounded pretty good, but I wasn’t going to jump at the first one I saw.
- First, I checked a bunch of different online shops.
- Then, I looked for the specific model I wanted, the yellow gold one.
- I saw one for almost $75k, seemed a bit high.
I kept digging and found another store that had the 116518 model, which is also a yellow gold automatic wristwatch with a chronograph, and it was listed as a 2023 model. Plus, they had some new arrivals, which was cool. It is really hard to find the 116518 model in my city.
Found the Perfect One
After a bit more searching, I came across a genuine yellow gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, the 126518LN model. This one had a golden dial and an Oysterflex bracelet. Bingo! That’s the one I wanted. They even had it listed as “ready for immediate delivery, no waiting lists.” Can you believe it? Usually, these things have crazy waiting times. They are also doing online sales, but I just don’t trust the channel, so I didn’t buy it from their online channel.
- Kept searching and found a 126518 model, which is the new version.
- Finally, I found the perfect one, the 126518LN with a golden dial.
- Best part, it was available for immediate delivery, no waiting!
So, I made the move and ordered it online from a physical store’s page. It was from a pretty reputable store, so I felt good about it. The whole checkout process was smooth. They had all the details about the watch, the 40 mm size, the 18-carat yellow gold, everything, which was reassuring, and their website said they are an official partner with Rolex. I have been to their store before, they have a good reputation.
Now, I’m just waiting for it to arrive. I’m pretty stoked, to be honest. It’s not every day you get to treat yourself to something like this, right? I’ll definitely share some pics once I have it on my wrist. It’s going to be epic!
By the way, I will post my watch and my new car together when I get my watch. I know, it is crazy, but that is the life, right?
- Ordered it online, easy checkout process.
- Waiting for it to arrive, super excited!
- Will share pics when I get it.
