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)

Do you have pictures of this watch?
Would like to see the pretty diamonds in there ... and trying to understand if I could loose interest in it after a year.
The watch is big bucks.

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 ;-)

You can't wear the BMW!

Get the BMW and a nice Hamilton Khaki.

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".
