My friend...
again I must salute you for your
straight and sincere principles!
Love the way you explained why vintage word is not for you.
I did same exercise few times in my mind
(sadly my bank account allows me to do such exercise
only in my mind

) and must tell you I incline towards
your thinking maybe that's part of our Mediterranean roots
where we know that things can have bad karma of former owner.
As for your recent Rolex examples
That Dayto is borderline case--- still not sure what to think of it
As for Rasta for me blue one is far behind original one
but I see also that blue one would fit better in your collection
Sincerely yours
Damjan
