Since I am relatively new to the whole watch scene, I had no real idea that certain watches were considered more desireable than others. I guess the fact that they are considered rare helps drive sales.
I went back to my jeweler today to buy something for my wife and I looked at a few of the Rolex watches again. I am starting to look past just the watches that I like and notice some different models. I probably wouldn't have noticed the Daytona before, but after reading the forums, I am starting to notice some of the other models.
Well, the dealer that I visited had 3 different Daytona models. One was a SS version with a silver dial. I don't remember as much about the other two, but one was on a leather strap and was gold. I believe the third was either all gold or two-tone.
I liked the SS and silver dial the best out of those, but to be honest, the one that caught my eye today was the Explorer with the domed bezel and black face. That is a watch that looks classy without attracting too much unneeded attention.
I guess one of my main questions is after today. Is it rare for a dealer to have these "rare" watches just sitting in there display case. I have read about waiting list and such and find it odd that they haven't been snapped up already. Especially the SS with silver dial.
