I don't understand the recent Rolex SS craze/shortage. What am I missing?

·We may not understand it or agree on its causes, but eBay’s 2019 luxury watch report definitely reflects the overall Rolex craze (SS or otherwise):

despite the sub, GMT and Daytona hype, the datejust has always been the most popular model.

This comment seems to maybe blur the distinction between “popularity/hype” and “most purchased”?
Or, maybe you think that the average datejust would continue to sell more units even if the average sub/GMT/Daytona were all at the same price point and availability?

·I think that’s a poor comparison, your assertion is that people buy DJ’s becuase they can’t afford a sub/GMT/Daytona, I think they appeal to a much broader audience for very different reasons.
Note the punctuation in both of my two sentences. Your response to my question does seem to contain a reasoned position, though your response is meanwhile dressed in weird clothing.

·Punctuation noted on second view, I saw is as a statement and not a question.
It was a question pregnant with a degree of dubiousness, but willing to hear it out!
The key point was noting my confusion between the 'hype' vs 'popular.' If all @janice&fred intended to say was "regardless of the [GMT] hype, datejusts still sell more units" then that seems uncontroversial and obvious. But @janice&fred wrote "despite the [GMT] hype, datejusts are more popular" and I'm not sure what that means (if it doesn't simply mean they sell more units)?
Is a Honda Civic more 'popular' than an NSX, insofar as there are more Civic units sold? Surely. Does that mean that if Civics and NSX's were the same price (all in), that the Civic would continue to be more 'popular' than the NSX? I don't know, but I'm not so certain.

that’s interesting but best part for me is that vintage is outselling the modern date just
