Great pic ups Abel. I would have been as happy as a bug in a rug with just the 14060. With both I'd be on Cloud 9 Great pics

Congrats! But watch out for that DSSD! Before you know it, wearing it will be as unobstrusive as any other of those beauties you have!

Terrific post, Abel. Not sure how I missed it before. You have a fantastic trio of watches!

P.S.--My parents lived in BA for 7 years, and I visited twice. Say hello to that magnificent city for me!

Abel, congratulations on those 2 wonderful watches. You're a Rolex monster!!!




P.S. Did you factor your carpenter's bill into the price of the watches?

your SDDS

I enjoyed reading your post. I find the SDDS is a great watch to wear once you try it for a few days. Enjoy!

Abel my friend this is a great story.

Also you have purchased two great watches at one stroke. Brilliant.

I too looked at the DSSD but it was much too large for my small wrist. Probably will not buy one unless it is for a collection only.
