Thinking about a shakeup

I'm thinking about selling the Sub.
I'm thinking about either swapping my Expy dial for black (don't know if this is possible or prohibitively expensive) or trading it for a black dial.

I've felt for a while that i could live happily with just my Expy as a daily wearer--but with a black dial. (I'd keep the DJ as a dress watch.)

I'm thinking about getting the GF a Rolex.
I'm thinking about getting the GF something even more expensive.

To these ends, I'm thinking about selling the Sub. I'm trying to preserve my cash, as I might buy another house in the next two years.

This isn't really a solicitation for advice, just venting about what goes on inside my head (scary). But...if anyone has any ideas....

I prefer the white dial Expy, but that is because I own a black dial watch.

Thinking about buying the girlfriend something more expensive? Congratulations

Sean

Wow Kevin, you've been thinking a lot!

Take your time deciding...if there's anything I've learned, it's that!

I know you love your Expy. To be honest, I've started to lean a bit towards the black dial over the white these days. I'm sure it's a great daily wearer.

As for your GF, I think it's wonderful that you're considering something 'sparkly' for her!!! She must be a special woman.

Keep us posted! And remember that these are watches....nothing can't be undone.
