Don't Need a Rolex

I don't need a Rolex but a couple of months ago for some reason started reseaching SS Sub No Date, being a minimalist that's my type of watch, as you can see from my bikes satin black and chrome/SS/Polished Alloy, any way about a month ago I decided I want one. Thanks to one of your long standing TRF members, a gentleman, and For Sale Classified's, my watch arrived today. Stunning as above. But as I said I don't need a Rolex, I can't justify it that way, only that I wanted one, now I want more of the same but vintage SS No Date Sub that's my watch.

The need is only to know the time, and any watch can do that with resonable accuracy.
The WANT is an all together different issue my friend, something only you can come to terms with yourselve.
Welcome and enjoy the watch for many years to come.

Don't sweat it, if we only acquired what we need we'd live in caves or mud-huts and drive around Fred Flintstone-mobiles, you wanted it & that's all there is to say.

Congratulations, enjoy

We may not need a Rolex but we do need to follow our passions.
