Newbie Objective & Strategy
Hi guys!,
I'm new to the world of Rolexes but given that I've been married over 20 yrs with 4 kids, I don't have much dosh that is mine alone. However, I've saved up some beer vouchers from my pocket money & recently acquired 2 "vintage" Rolexes in unperfect condition. The aim is to restore them, make a reasonable profit & reinvest. If I can make 15% per turn then my spreadsheet tells me I can own a $40,000 Daytona within 5 yrs...What do you reckon? Sacrilege? Ridiculous? Crazy? Disgusting? Good idea?
I'm going to need help.......
Cheers,

Well...
I think that buying correct vintage Rolex watches for a decent price and finding a way to restore them for a reasonable price is not that easy. Especially if you're "new to the world of vintage Rolex". Cheers Jeff

As far as liking watches goes, I’ve long admired the design and “presence” of Rolex watches, particularly the 1965-75 era stainless steels with plain or off-white dials. A few years ago (blimey, its actually 20 years!) I gave my wife a b...
Trade up to Paul Newman
They weren't subs - I can't afford those and I wanted to start start with the modest end of the line anyway. As chance would have it, I came across a Precision 6694 (manual) first and then a Date 1500 (auto). I'm glad I did: there's something fundamental ...
