$10-15,000.00 vintage rolex, need advise

If you had up to 15k,what type of vintage Rolex would you buy. I like Subs, GMTs and similar models. Please let me know your thoughts. Many thanks.

A very nice all original feet first 1680 Red or a same caliber 1665 great white would be my choice.

The answer to your question only you would know IMHO.What do you like?That's what you buy. Believe me you could not give away some of the models that are rare and desirable buy a few today when they were new in AD's

1655 Explorer II Steve McQueen also known as "Freccione". A definitive classic and a growing value.

1655 Explorer II Steve McQueen that's the only one I would buy if I have the money...maybe the pre-Daytona now that I think of it.

Buy what you like !!! If you are still a virgin, you might wanna get laid a few times so it would ba appropriate to buy 2 or 3 watches around 5 k like a matte 5513 and 16750 or 1675

Oherwise I would go for a 1655 or a 1680/8
