In fact, gold, silver, and Rolex watches are often discussed during our local sports card investment meetings with collectors (if I remember correctly, half of the attendees at our last meeting were wearing Rolex watches).

Agree with everything you say, am familiar with watches and coins myself, and it's a beautiful sub, was just surprised to see it in a sports auction. Hope it does well.

Incidentally a current model Rolex Oyster Perpetual "Tiffany Blue," I was just reading, sold for 70k, up from maybe 15K or so before it was unexpectedly discontinued.
