Which Rolex made you the most money, and which one was your biggest loss?

[PA6-541]

I bought a Milgauss 6541 in 1966 and wore it for 37 years. Last I heard, it is doing better than my stocks. It keeps perfect time. Somebody called it a stealth Rolex because of its unprepossessing mien. The original cost was less than $200, but you could get a gold President for $1200 at that time.

thanks for the info! however i dont really get it, because a 'better' item will cost more than your current item.
well, you can do that if you top up with $$

For Example- If you find an old (1972) 1680 18K Black dial all original for 3K and you sell it to buy a TT white dial Daytona with the profits. That is true collecting the key is to always make your collection better.. http://www.rolexforums.com/images/smilies/twitcy.gif
