Bunch of vintage models over the years. Market is crazy now, but 25 years ago gilt Subs, Daytona's and GMT's were not like that. Tons of them out there and easy to find deals. I guess the one that stands out--a mint 6263 Daytona Big Red my buddy who owned a small shop that mostly sold and fixed Rolex was selling me a vintage Sub. I think it was 1995. He was going to "throw" in the Daytona for next to nothing--like <1000 if I remember. Never really been a Daytona fan, so I passed. 6263 is worth 50K today, the Sub about 30K.
