OP precious metal rolex prices do not usually carry well as there is only a small after market demand for it, second hand prices for rolex are getting crazy these days, a person can walk out of the shop with their daytona and get 2-3x the price of it due to the waitlist. lastly precious metal rolex are generally quite heavy if you don't like a heavy watch on your wrist then you might want to opt for stainless steel.
