In no small measure my love of the acryllic stems from the fact these were the watches I grew up with. They're not "as vintage" to me as to some. LOL!
The current references are the watches most here have come to accept as "their" Rolex.
My guess the new buyers (and some of us more seasoned  buyers) will come to accept the new wave of references comming in in due course.
In many ways we are wintess to a new era in the history of Rolex. Some will be good, some will be bad, that's the way of all things. |
Mike, did you collect most of your watches "at the time", rather than some years later when they had become rarer/more collectable ? If so, it must be a superb feeling to have so many fantastic watches that have been with you "from new".........
I dont think I will ever be a collector of Rolex in the true sense of the word, because I lack the spare funds to build up any sort of collection. I am 39 now and own 2. I would think the most I would reasonably expect to own and keep in my lifetime would be 4 or 5.
Fair play to you for having the foresight and funds to build up such a great collection.
