Would you buy a Day/Date in Stainless Steel?

[BarkMaster]

Don't get excited.... it would cost you a small fortune if you can find one for sale.

While looking for something else the other day, I stumbled upon some information about Day/Dates that I had not seen previously, including this:

"the range’s rarest watches of all are still those of steel made around the mid 1950s"

More information and a picture from: http://www.newturfers.com/bin/mwf/to....pl?pid=338280

Ref. 6511/4, made on July 19, 1955. Only 6 examples.

This watch was produced in only six examples in stainless steel because a marketing test with different metals showed that there was a considerable potential demand for pieces in gold. Rolex therefore stopped production of the steel watches, producing this reference only in precious metals. This strategy proved successful, for even today this is the most popular high-quality watch in the world.
