Icon19 •~~> How Many Times have you flipped on TRF <~~•

Just wondering who holds the title...

And a little story about why

I’m at 13.

I flipped the 16622 because it was a bit boring and I wanted ceramic bezel

Then the 16613 was a nice looking watch and fit well but I didn’t like the yellowish date wheel peeking thru the cyclops

After that the SD4k hit all the right buttons and looked amazing but it was a little to top heavy for me and if I secured it so it wouldn’t roll on my wrist, it bugged me due to the tightness. I actually bought it twice but “the song remained the same...”lol

I’ll tell you the rest of the flippin stories later. pun intended

I don’t want to say exactly. But it’s a lot. I get all excited and warm and fuzzy about my new watch and then something hits me and I am out of love. I try to keep them but feel like I need to sell while they are still in new condition to minimize losses. My 15-20 is conservative. :(

Many flips on other brands, on the 5-10 range on Rolexes. Nothing wrong with flipping in my mind: buy what you like / want, flip it if does not sings to you at a later time!

TT Blusey, TT Daytona, GMT LN and BLNR, Daytona 500 (White) and Explorer 1. I screwed up and checked 1-5. Looks like I'm in the 5-10 class. Sorry

The BLNR didn’t last long for me.

I sometimes regret letting go the Dblue
