If you're willing to define "desireable" for yourself, there are plenty of great vintage Rolex values left. Bombe lugs, barked gold, logo dials, Oysterquartzes...there are so many cool little quirks in Rolex's history that I find no need to obsess over the same 5-6 models that have already been researched/hyped so thoroughly.

well that really is the question....what is the next Paul Newman in vintage Rolex? What watch can I buy today and see a 1000% return in 10 years???
