I hear you on all points. I have to agree with a lot of folks that AT RRP, you can’t really beat a Rolex. Now, getting your hands on one is a different matter. After going grey to get (sorry) my Polar Exp II and subsequently flipping it to fund my lacquer Santos-Dumont, I do find myself missing the quality and construction and that sexy matte white dial. But what I have instead is something more limited, (subjectively) more beautiful, and something that has appreciated in value and should continue to do so, on top of being able to build a relationship with a local AD.
I’m hopeful with the Bucherer acquisition, we are only a few years away from Rolex having stock for people to walk in and buy. There are always going to be models that are for the elite, but hey, I kind of feel like everyone that has the means should be able to get an OP or sub whenever they want to.
Vintage Rolex is still the biggest enemy of modern Rolex, but there are some good deals to be had out there if you’re not hunting anything too exotic just yet.
At this stage the larger case size is probably needed to accommodate the big date complication (which is always beautiful to me). Case symmetry is interesting, not sure if I’m fully on board, but it looks great as a less common conversation starter!!
