Sub C or Pelagos for my next Rolex?

[Rob519]

I’ve always wanted a sub no date, but it’s so off-putting that you can’t buy one at retail price now. It seems like the supply shortage is directly related to people hoarding new watches with dollar signs on their minds - which is the opposite of what a black no date sub was originally about. For example, I recently stopped in to a highly regarded watch shop in my local area and they won’t even sell you their pre-owned or new steel no dates, Kermits, or hulks they have in stock (because they feel the values will grow exponentially and yes they currently have multiple of each). I get a business’ goal is to make money, but at some point it feels like enthusiasts are being held hostage by investors. I would love a new sub, but I think I’ve answered my own question. Still curious to hear your thoughts! Thanks.

P.S. I have an Air King 14010m 34mm and an Explorer II 16570 Polar, so a black dial Pelagos and eventually an Omega Speedmaster will complete my small collection.
