I was in Italy last week for a short break. Decided to take a look at Capri, a beautiful placed but somewhat mobbed at this time of the year. Anyway stumbled across a watch seller that had a number of very collectable Rolex Sports watches in the window, so popped in and casually asked what the price was for the single red was............. "Yes sir, the one with the tropical dial, yes that is €42,000"
I know where I am going when I want to sell mine!
I suspect the price he'll offer you to buy it will be rather a lot lower than that!Quote:

Tropical dial!!! You mean it's knackered
'knackered' but desirable, it would appear!Quote:

Quite!! Never understood it and I guess I never will, each to his or her ownQuote:
