Only an anecdote...I was in Monterey, CA for Car Week a few days ago and stopped in Fourtane. The case holding vintage Rolex sports watches is at the very front of the shop, and on the opposite side are the vintage Rolex dress watches (Day-Date, Datejust,etc.). The entire length of the case holding the sports watches was shoulder-to-shoulder with customers and three deep. The other cases holding contemporary Rolex watches and other high-end brand luxury timepieces were given only a passing glance. The whole thing was extraordinary to see. To be clear, I was in the store for all of 20 minutes or so, and the episode I'm speaking
of here occurred two days before the Saturday GTG.
Last point: the buyers-to-be (and lookiloos) were truly an international group.
