Investment scorecard

Momentum50Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.

Liquidity39How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity67Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.

Value entry64Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.

Condition safety87How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

The stealth Daytona: white gold that passes for steel until the heft gives it away. Blue and meteorite dials carry the premiums.

Discontinued with the 4130 generation in 2023.

The white gold Daytona in steel's clothing: same dimensions, same look at ten feet, noticeably heavier and nearly three times the retail. The meteorite-dial versions, actual slices of the Gibeon meteorite, are the standout spec.

Discontinued with the 116-series in 2023, it now plays the 'last generation, precious metal, discounted' card. Watch the meteorite dials: they've started separating from the pack.

Our verdict: Quiet-money Daytona. Dial choice decides whether it is a weak buy or a strong one.
