Am I looking for the impossible???

[floz00]

Hello-
I introduced myself on my last post and have enjoyed reading this informative forum. I am Ron, and I am looking for my first Rolex Submariner. I am a 5th Grade tecaher in CT, and as you well know by my profession, that I am not rich. On to my question:

I am looking for a well used/abused Rolex Submariner. The condition of the watch is of no matter to me, as long as it is running. I do not care about boxes or papers, as long as it is authentic. I would even take a "franken-Rolex" made up of all authentic Rolex parts from different watches put together.

My question is...does any such watch exist? I mean, most who own a Rolex take care of them because of the amount of money it takes to purchase one. Also, most hold on to the boxes and papers due to collecting/authenticity. Me, I just want a really nice watch to wear every day. Something that will look great at school, with a suit, or even with jeans and a collared shirt.Something that would become an heirloom, something i'd pass on after I'm gone. Ideally, the watch would be lower than or around 2K. Am I crazy for looking for this watch??? Should I move on and try to purchase something different??? Please, lead me in the correct direction. Please keep in mind, I feel that Rolex is the pinnacle of all watches, and any other watch would not satisfy my desires. I do however understand that, to quote the Rolling Stones, "...you can't always get what you want". Thanks in advance for your thought and advice.
Best regards,
Ron
