Other priorities for my money so yes essentially it is money. A red 1680 is my grail with a few others on its heels.

For me it is money.. There is only so much I willing to spend on a watch.
Usually if you have money, then availability is not a problem Sean

The old cliche' says, money is not everything, but it helps to have money!
Money, is the "final tool" to acquire/own Rolex watches! |

Money + Availability
Quote:
Yes, both. Why? 1) Assume I have unlimited money. 2) Then, I buy ALL Rolex models 3) No more Rolex models left 3) Then, again, I am limited by AVAILABILITY

One watch to have - BNIB 1680 (red or white)
Stopping me? Tudor sub (square hands) was wedding gift, cannot give up. E series 16610 is first Rolex. No need for another sub. Grail watch - BNIB 5517 - never gonna happen (in other words, money). |
