Rolex Day date or BMW hard top convertible
Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about making a purchase at the end of the year (x-mas present to myself). Should I get a wg DD with meteorite dial, diamond bezel with diamond lugs OR a new Bmw hardtop convertible??????? Thanks as always! |

I'll go with what's bigger...the BMW. Size and price should match!

I'd go for a Platinum DD, preowned, no diamonds.
I had the BMW Convertible, a bit of a bone shaker that dropped £6,500 in the 10 months I could bear it.

how long are you planning on keep it (either the BMW or the DD - which will have a better resale)?

esm - I'm horrible in that I like things a lot and then get bored. I bought a yg dd with diamonds etc and after a year tried to trade it/sell it
I placed an order with my AD for the new sub. The AD works at tourneau in NY (I have a very good experience although others hate tourneau). AD said watch should come in Sept/Oct and I'm first on the list (not sure if hes kissing my a** or if I'm really first on list) |

yeah I understand how having a short attention span can be a pain in the backside.
But as long as you enjoy it, that's all it matters. Looks like your new Sub-C is due soon ;-) |

I would rather have a new car than a new watch. I actually sold a couple of watches when I bought my last car, I would rather have a car paid for than a bunch of watches sitting in my drawer.

You have to change the oil in the B'mer more often than the watch.

Funny you should mention that Tristan as I don't think I ever told you about my brief involvement in the "adult industry". |
