Yeah, You can still find "like new" condition pepsi or coke GMT.. Or maybe Explorer II?

Or perhaps something between sport and casual/ dress.. How about Milgauss?

If you flipped that many of great Rolex pieces, why do you still bother to get another Rolex? Perhaps, if you could let us know why have you flipped that trio, it would make it easier to suggest you some.

No offense, but reading your post I got the feeling that you should look into other brands.

Get an Explorer 2

Hey buddy,

Get an Explorer 2 , stealthy, readable, superb case dimensions.
They are very affordable and when you buy preloved you can't lose money on it when you trade in after few years.

Jack

Tough call. If the watches that you have listed did not "speak" to you.........I am not sure what will. Maybe give us a little more information as to why you flipped each one of the watches you have listed?? It might give us a better understanding as to what you are looking for in a watch.........

Ok,actually the 14060M was the only one that worked out and I may consider to buy it back,I've sold it just to make some funds for a crazy mountainbike shopping spree I'm currently going through.
SD ?? was too heavy. LV ?? got bored fast.

Sorry,GMT I is a great watch but I need that extra step in "beat-ability".

Ok,here is the crazy idea : 16610 bubble free ???? Any pics guys ??

Get a 1675 or 16750.

With a very good example you'll not flip it ..... unless you're a lost cause.

since you are a flipper and I'm sure you'd prefer to make a profit or at least not lose too much money on it..... So how about a SS Daytona.
You will make back at least what you paid for and maybe some in the current "supply and demand" situtation.

Honestly, I believe that the 14060M is tough to beat. It is my 2nd favorite sports model (with the 16600 my favorite)

Sounds like you have tried the "divers" and you are looking for something different. How about an Explorer I or II?

If you got bored of the LV, how is the 16610 going to be any better? You mean you got bored of the green?

16613 (blue like mine) or, after looking at all of Kyle pictures, I'm starting to lust after an Explorer

If the green bored you, buy a black bezel and put it on the LV.
Go for a gmt, you don't have one in your collection.
