Honestly, what excites me most is how pieces like the 17000 tap into deeper watch-nerd territory-a kind of middle ground where classic Rolex vibes meet weirdly niche collector interest. It’s not just about flexing; for some, it’s about owning a little quirk of horological history. Is it worth 17k? Only if you genuinely love the story and the style, because there are way more practical (and yes, caffeinated) ways to spend that much. But that’s the fun of watch collecting, right?
