Your opinions please:"Rolex" Marconi vs Longines "Calatrava"

I am looking to buy a vintage watch in the Calatrava style. Please note, I realize that "Calatrava" is a Patek Philippe trademark and I am using it here simply to convey the style of watch I am looking for.

I have read two contradictory accounts of the Marconi - one account is that the Marconi was a special high end Rolex only sold in exclusive stores vs the other account which states that Marconi was a budget line of Rolex watches that were not sold by Rolex dealers. I am more inclined to believe the latter. Am I correct in this assumption?

Would I be better off buying a vintage Longines vs a Marconi?
