I need to de-rolex

Just got in from vegas and have have seen more fine time pieces than I can stand. Hit every shop in town. A true den of sin for a watchaholic. I'll be ok, its my 19 year old daughter that has me worried. She wouldn't let me pull the trigger. We looked at every version of midsize s/s datejust, smooth bezel, fluted , diamond, oyster and jubalee. I almost couldn't look at another watch , NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She wears a tt d/j white roman and thought she would be all over something a little bigger and a fresh look. "I have a watch", what does that really mean?????? She is a great girl and everything a father could ask for in a young lady, and then some. I guess I should be happy she doesn't shear in my fliction. We had a great time. PS Don't waste your money on the Penn and Teller show, the lamest I've seen, I wouldn't pay 10 bucks,no, I wouldn't sit through it again for free.

Since she doesn't want another Rolex, I think you should buy another one for yourself!!

Letting the w/g sub soak in. See if I can let someone else enjoy the "off the lot miles" before I pull the trigger for myself. I did admire it for some time at the tourneu forum store. She's pretty nice.

Good for her, she sounds like a very prudent young lady with a good head on her shoulders.
