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,

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 ...
