I should have been more emphatic in my agreement with you.

I do like the idea of your base posting.
What would you buy in todays market for $X,XXX dollars? Watch "A" or watch "B"?
Sincerely,
John

That GMT is the solid white gold version

So it already comes at a premium. BTW, I prefer that blue dial to the standard black one on the SS version. If Rolex gave the Blue dial to the new SS GMT I would've definitely bought one.

5711 Tiffany dial or a bit more for 5970 (or the same for 5270)?
Value is personal.

We all come from different backgrounds and are at different locations on our life's journey. I too have difficulty wrapping my mind around the shifting market. However, when I began my interest in watches, certain Panerai's with a modified ETA movement so...

Agreed, this is crazy, although this is a crazy passion of ours!

the WG GMT was the point that Rolex ‘lost it’ for me. Really not a fan of it at all, so I’m biased in that I don’t like this particular piece anyway, but the idea that a Datograph, which to me is one of the greatest watches of all time, can be had for the...
