Bubblebacks Anyone?

being new here, I've noticed that most of the discussions pertaining to vintage Rolex models involve the more modern editions/variants.

do older bubblebacks have a following of their own? I've seen a few (from the late 40's-early 50's) & while the majority of them are somewhat plainer than the more contemporary Rolexes, they're kind of interesting in their own way...with a very conservative-looking, no frills appearance. the oyster case is immediately recognizable but the dials/hands are very straightforward & most of them do not have the cyclops lens/calendar. the somewhat oversized back looks as though one could engrave a book on it.

just curious as I was thinking of looking into one with an 18K case & an alligator strap. they seem to vary in price from reasonable to ridiculous...thus my research & further education begins.
