Rolex Trade Up

In “Rolex Trade Up”, Dave tries to trade his way up from a mystery box to a Rolex, one deal at a time. The series starts with whatever is inside the box, and later he experiments with stocks to keep climbing. It's a laid-back self-experiment in Dave's usual style. If you enjoy trade-up challenges, the question is: how far can a few clever swaps really take him?
