The most collectable Vintage Rolex!

Since demand for steel vintage Rolex's seems to increase steadily, I wanted to gauge collectors level interest/preference between the various models.

Though there are several other collectable Vintage models, I thought I would just limit it to the list in the poll.

No one model is more collectible than any other - it depends on the buyer's tastes.
What's desirable to one, may not be to another.
Are you asking which is the most rare, or the most popular?

Well I wanted to get an idea of which vintage model is considered the most collectable by people. And by finding out which models were desired most from the list one could see the rankings of which were considered most collectable.

There are so many iconic steel vintage models, and its interesting to see the percentage preference. Of course there are different references within the models however this gives a broad idea.

Asking which is most in demand by collectors. Interesting to see milsub a close second. Didn't realise the Comex was that low in the order.

Your right it can be reference specific. Just wanted to get a broad view (as too many references to list). Even with the PN Daytona you have so many references 6241, 6263, 6265 and military 5513, 5517 & double reference.

Tough call - probably had to narrow it down to one - Daytona and Milsub must be up there though!

I see, but it's so subjective. One collector may be totally into Subs, while the next guy is all about Daytonas.
