Hey padi! This may be your big opportunity to pick up that Prince you always wanted. A bit too dear for my wallet!

It wouldn't be MY "Prince" choice either, but they were produced in small quantities, and are very rare now. They were striped with yellow AND white gold, not stainless steel, which is part of the reason for the high price. To each his own is right on.

Yes agree the striped versions are now very rare,the normal TT a little bit more easy to find but still all command a high price. For whats basically a Gruen cased movement, but with Rolex on the dial.
