Agreed...

Apologies if I phrased my questions incorretly, I am not really concerned about the value, dont dwell on that Baron, I was asking/am asking about the history of such pieces and their rise in value as a measure of the popularity and why this has happened..I am not asking/talking about investment value particularly, I am on this forum asking the knowledgable ones about such a piece and its reaons for being, this is a watch forum right?

I am pretty new to rolex and am very interested in finding out more, I ask the question and to be honest found Amanico's repsonse a bit dismmissive, but I can see if he thought I was purely concerned about the investment return then maybe it riled him a tad, but you must understand that I am posting to try & find out more info in general, to me quite an obvious question to ask how many were made, why so popular etc, its called historic research, doesnt really need a 'all that matters is it looks good and you like it' answer, very flippant IMHO when someone is trying to gleen info.

Second post was a very informative & interesting post, that I thank the poster for, its amazing the turn around from a heavily discounted piece to such a high value piece in a relatively short period of time, a mechanism I would like to understand. For example the pre Vendome Panerai's with the rolex movements are very sought after, I understand that, as I used to collect Panerai's and found the forum here an excellent place for gaining such knowledge, like wise the richard mIlle forum is the same. Was rather hoping that the rolex forum may have the same stream of knowledge.

Sorry maybe its just me, I have reread my original post which I still find to be qutie a genuine request for info, and maybe I shouldnt be so so sensitive, I just found Amanico's comment a litle pointless & ever so slightly rude!..
