Why don't you buy a great conditioned Coke or Pepsi rather than NOS and then pay to get it refinished by Rolex and save yourself £4000 in the process?? Obviously tell them to retain what you want or go elsewhere if they don't allow that.
I know you were saying you want to create the patina and the scratches but is it really worth paying NOS prices and stretching when your gonna wipe off all that value pretty sharpish?? Once a nice condition is refinished you'll forget about the secondhand thing pretty quick and have an extra 4k in your account.
