I don't think adequate information is being given for a Rolex Daytona/Cosmograph timepiece.
First, there should be a model number, i.e. the first letter of the serial number. The later Daytonas which have the serial numer on the Rehaut of the watch are usually considered to be more valuable.
Second, if the timepiece is an older series Daytona, this means it has been sitting around for some time with the original lubricants drying up.
Third, I think it's only ethical to list the current retail price for a Stainless Steel Daytona. My understanding is sthat the full retail from an authorized dealer (AD) is $9,925. I acknowledge that Daytonas sell for more than the retail on the grey maket... and I know that ADs only receive about 2 per year, thus creating a demand that exceeds supply and hence the higher price. However, I believe than an AD can only charge the retail price.
Fourth, I don't believe it states clearly whether this is a new or pre-owned watch.
Lastly, there should be a firm statement whether the watch is being purchased through an AD, and hence would have the Rolex guarantee... otherwise who knows whether or not the watch store can provide any type of Rolex level repair, which... if they don't have a Rolex-trained repair person with about $100,000 investment of genuine Rolex tools, lubricants, availability to genuine Rolex parts, etc... they may well not.
All in all, for a watch in this price range I don't think Amazon is doing their job in protecting their customers.
That's my $.02.
