    Received the latest issue of Watch Time magazine. Nice, very favorable article on the ceramic bezel Daytona. Not my cup of tea model but still interesting. A small comment about Rolex marketing strategy of the Daytona.

    Making sure there's a long waiting list, so you can't get one, ensuring that they trade at 50% markup in the secondary market. Just like they did in the 90s.

    You got it. That's the point they were making. Remember the founder H.W. was a salesman first and last, with an extraordinary ability understanding market forces.

    So with the unavailability of the watch the article is quite timely
