Do you honestly expect the price of a fine vintage watch (Be it Rolex or otherwise) to come down over time…???

One of the reasons that vintage Rolex watches have gone up in price is because they are so sought after…

If you can't afford to play in the game (A game which I myself can no longer compete…I bought my first DRSD for $4000.) then that's just to bad…

It's what we call: "The way of the world…!!!"…

I agree with the sentiment of you "pay to play". My issue is the fact that it's become so "trendy." Therefore wealthy non enthusiast are buying up (and driving up the prices) the very pieces that collectors and hobbyist would treasure.
