(looks so much cooler on the internet ;) So my final answer is... The 3572.50, because it is discontinued and very desirable for good reason--it's simply the best imo. Second would be a new hesalite 3570 and third would be a new sapphire sandwich.If I bought a used speedy with unknown service should I immediately service it? (on a 3572 it would be at least 9 ye

Struggle for SS Rolex Sport is Real
Wempe and Rolex boutique in midtown Manhattan have zilch as of today. Compared to last year this time, it's amazing. Plenty of PM sports, DD and DJ galore tho.... tells you something about either demand or limiting supply to squeeze secondary.
