Review by : G. Hewitt Just a Guy
I actually own this watch and I am wearing it as I type. This is known to be one of the hardest to get watches. Authorized dealers are given ONE per year (actually two, but one is black-faced, and one is white faced). The white faced is the most demanded, thus more rare. I waited over a year to get mine, and only by luck did I get mine. The 116520 is milestone of Rolex's success. It signifies the start of a new era for Rolex… in which EVERY watch, EVERY component, and EVERY piece is made entirely by Rolex across all watches in their production. Until the year 2000, the Daytona's internal components were made by Zenith & Valjoux (still great quality, but not made by Rolex). This watch retails (at the moment I am writing) for about seven grand. If you want the watch now… you will have to pay over ten to twelve grand. If you want to wait 2-3 years on a waiting list (if you can even find a dealer who has one, usually they only sell this watch to customers who have bought other Rolex's and don't hold a waiting list) then go to an authorized dealer and do so. Be careful who you buy this watch from, as fakes are getting better and better. If you do buy one, be sure to take it to an AD (Authorized Dealer) to ensure it is Authentic. If you think this watch is expensive now… wait 5-10 years… it will be worth more than a house in today's standards. Rolex increases the cost of their watches every year by 7-20%, so this watch is going to go up in value… don't trust me… watch the prices go up for yourself and see.
Along with new Rolex's going up in price… your used Rolex does too… eventually your used Rolex is worth more than you bought it new and you can sell it to break even or make profit… and thus the reason that so many collect these timepeices. Of course… if you want to invest your money… you can find a lot greater returns at a bank or financial advisor than in a Rolex.
If you buy this watch above MSRP, you are giving someone a LOT of money… wheras when you buy from Rolex… a large portion of the money goes to Charity… just a FYI.
Details on the watch – The Calibre 4130 (the movement inside the watch) is already being praised by watch authorities as one of the TOP 10 movements ever created… for it's simplicity, accuracy, and efficiency. It uses less components than other models and is very rugged… this is a watch you could wear jackhammering everyday all year and not have to worry about it breaking.

I went to an Authorized Dealer last weekend. They wanted $3,000 plus tax and told me if I gave them 20% up front, they would have the watch in their store…in 9 days! I told them about the price on Amazon…they scoffed. I decided to purchase the watch that night and it arrived to my house only two days later. Everything was perfect. Serial number, documentation, etc…everything was brand new and perfect. I researched Amazon and their warranty for this very expensive watch…thoroughly before the purchase.
I could not be happier. The watch is way overpriced…but, hey, you know that going in. I wanted a Tag and decided it was worth the money. I wanted an upscale watch brand.
Last thought, I saw this particular model being sold on Ebay USED and it went for almost $2,000. Why would anyone not buy a BRAND NEW watch from Amazon for roughly $350 more with a warranty?

WOW! The functionality of this product is fantastic. I love all the features it has and really will not go into details of each since you really should not be getting all the details from reviews. My gripes are with the altimeter feature. It just did not seem to be accurate when compared to the pro devices. I tested it while skydiving and it failed miserably. Still I would not have put all my faith on this device doing that type of activity anyway but it was a slight let down. I did not realize how convenient a perpetual calendar was till we got to the end of Feb and I had to do nothing on the watch to have the accurate day. Not just the end of Feb, the end of each month really. My only gripe is the titanium on this (which is widely reported all over the web and reviews here on Amazon) scratches too easily. When you spend this much on a watch you really want it looking pristine for as long as possible and I have babied it as it deserves. I will have to go to a mall and see how much more the steel version weighs in person to see what I missed out on cause the titanium version sure is light. All in all it would have gotten 5 stars if the metal did not scratch which is no fault of the Tissot itself. Oh yeah, it does get more comments than I anticipated.
