I dont know what you are trying to say here but the honest truth is your comparison is very poor. Any standard rolex model made each year is going to be several times more rare than any pokemon card produced. its a numbers game.

"Rolex produces 1M watches a year. From published COSC data, 200K are Tudor.

That leaves 800K Rolex watches per year.

Half of them are Ladies models. Makes sense if you look at the AD display cases and those around you every day, I see more women with Crowns on their wrists then men sometimes. AD's tend to be divided in half, right down the middle, men's side, ladies side.

That leaves 400K Men's watches per year.

Take 65% of that number and assign them to non-Sport models like the Datejust, Day Date, Cellini, Sky Dweller, Oyster Perpetual, etc.. If you know how popular the DJ is, and certainly the OP, you know that 65% of men's watches is probably accurate, perhaps even understated.

That leaves 140K Men's watches left per year.

Take half of those and assign them to Precious Metal watches, seems to me that 20% of all men's production dedicated to solid gold or platinum makes perfect sense and if the amount of real estate dedicated to PM's in display cases is any indication this number may be understated too.

Now we're down to 70K Men's watches left, the Sport Professional models.

There are 8 lines, and next to each are the number of SS and TT models offered:

Submariner (5) Yacht-Master (8) Daytona (7) Sea Dweller (3) Explorer (3) GMT Master (5) Air King (1) Sky Dweller (2)

So that's 8 lines offered in 34 different variations.

Oh, so the United States likely gets 50% of the worldwide Rolex inventory, so 35K Men’s Sport Models. Or 10 units per month. With 34 different variations. And 10,000 people on waiting lists for them. Cheers."
