Tom's 116500 ain't no normal 116500, even if it is "just" an engraving. It's what it represents: - Won as a result of winning the Le Mans/Daytona 24hr, hardly a walk in the park - Presented by Rolex CEO himself - Owned by none-other than 9-time Le Mans 24hr Champion Tom Kristensen, the most successful Le Mans racer of all time... and yes, he has 9 of em.... Yes the watch is "just" a 116500LN.... but it's not "just" a 116500LN, in the same way that Paul Newman's Daytona isn't "just" a 6239. Yes someone could get theirs engraved with "Rolex 24hrs Daytona" on it... but it would just be a 116500LN that a chump got engraved to pretend it's something it's not. Provenance is key. |
