Investment scorecard

Momentum65Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.
Liquidity76How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.
Scarcity63Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.
Value entry23Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.
Condition safety80How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

The archetypal Rolex. Dial choice moves the money: Wimbledon and green motif dials command real premiums over silver.

Trades near retail for common dials, which makes it a value entry into the fluted-bezel look.

The Wimbledon dial, slate with green-outlined Roman numerals, became one of the most popular modern Datejust dials.

The Datejust itself dates to 1945, the first self-winding waterproof chronometer with a date window. The Jubilee bracelet was created for it.

Our verdict: Dial-driven. Buy Wimbledon or green palm for resale; buy silver because you love it.
