You are right Neil...
Just these SS prices on certain sports models getting berserk
and out of hand ...

The YG Blue Sub is definitely something to behold and it is just
simply gorgeous and jaw dropping !!! I wish I could’ve walked
out with it but it’s not the right timing just yet unfortunately...

after owning stainless for decades, due to my financial position being better now, I have upgraded to gold.. I prefer it and always have, but I simply didn't have the money for them back then.

Rolex prefers selling PM watches as profit to be made per watch is considerably higher. We buyers on the other hand tend to prefer steel, pumping up demand while supply remains equal or perhaps reduced, resulting in higher prices on the secondary market. Therefore steel appears more precious than it is, so in a way you could say it's the new PM, to buyers anyway.

I agree, Rolex pwould rather sell PM creating a supply and demand play with SS

No and only certain people would pay over the odds
