Personally I think the internet has affected the current production and recently discontinued models hype/demand more than vintage.

Having said that, as all ships go up on a rising tide, vintage has been indirectly affected and has fuelled a 'substitution purchase' community for older models as and when they can't get the contemporary piece or have bought one and find it too chunky !

The internet reach has raised quite a few hitherto unloved models even in the last 5 years, but are still some models that are bargains and the internet/collector community just haven't got to grips with yet.

5 yrs ago I'd say it was the 16570, 36mm Tudor subs, big block, Rolex 14270, but they've flown the nest in terms of prices.... So now it's just Rolex oyster 34mm eg 6694/6426, Basic Baton dial Datejust 36mm, Tudor 38mm Jumbos and 2 step dial/ Integrated models, 89190 and some 79260/70/80 Arabic small blocks.
