Gutting out the movement is ridiculous. I have never heard of a fine mechanical watch being melted down for its metals.

SS in most cases retains better resale than TT & from what i know and have experienced, a rolex's variation in  valuation will be within 15 or 20 % worldwide.

In the end, whatever metal (or combination) one chooses to purchase just comes down to personal choice.

My roomie says buy ss or gold, but not both on one watch. With SS, you'll get next to nothing if you need money real quick (and are stuck in China or Timbuktu), but at least you'll have a nice watch in 904L steel. With gold, ah-ha, oooh la la, no problemo...
