FYI, the most sought after and valuable Rolexes are vintage Daytonas, which had an outsourced Valjoux and later Zenith movements.

Questioning Shelby's continuity seems fair. It's unique because it's production stopped, then was left unguarded (hello, replicas), then resurrected as a 'Buyer Must Complete' vehicle. Different than most come-back products. Companies live, die and breathe again (and usually just as a brand). With Shelby, (until recently) the old man was still there. Sourcing out, like the old days.

Evan: Original, No. Real, Yes. It's a grey area. It's just my opinion, which doesn't change what I think of his Cobra. It's "up there".
