I have to tell you my TRF family..

Being Rolexless and watchless in general has seriously made me realise how much I enjoy a luxury watch on my wrist. The only luxury watch I currently own is the Breitling Chronomat Evoulution which is currently with Breitling, which means no watch for me for the past 3-4 weeks..

Enjoy your watch and don't make the crazy mistake I did flipping them every 6 months or less!!

Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side..!

After selling up all of my watches exept the one Breitling, all funds will go towards my 18k Gold Rolex whatever and whenever it may be..

KEEP THOSE WATCHES!! - You'll miss em' when they're gone!

SaddleSC · 13 February 2012, 10:48 AM

i wish you still had the HULK, Dino...somehow, I still hold out the hope that it will find its way back home after you find a cure for Gold Fever. Good luck with your search...I am looking forward to you getting one back on the wrist soon!

FeelingTheBlues · 13 February 2012, 10:50 AM

You're a sage Dino, your words really touched me...

I hope you'll get that 18kt grail soon my friend, I raise my wrist to you!

dddrees · 13 February 2012, 10:53 AM

Stick it through Dino, you'll get there.

azguy · 13 February 2012, 10:55 AM

I have an Evo, fantastic watch, SS with a blue dial. Would never part with it, the best clasp and bracelet I have ever worn

Hang in there, it'll be back soon

I felt the same way when I sent my Sub in for service a few years ago. I feel your pain my brother

Lion · 13 February 2012, 10:58 AM

Dino, life is about learning and not making the same mistake twice.....keep saving and I'm sure a watch will be on your wrist by the end of this year. Or December 21st wihich ever one comes first!!!

JustABreathAway · 13 February 2012, 11:30 AM

Dino, I really miss reading your posts here. I was serious when I called you the Man of the Forum - you add a lot to this site.
Having worked so hard and planned so long for my watch, I can only tell you that you will appreciate your golden Rolex so much when you've finally earned it. It would be nice if The Dino (formerly known as the Hulk) did make its way back into your stable at some point, though.
Best of luck, and don't go so long between posts!!

warren G. · 13 February 2012, 11:37 AM

The 6 months will go by fast. I was watch less for almost 3 months before I could pull the trigger on my Sub-C. Just stay focus my friend

MortgageGuy · 13 February 2012, 11:40 AM

We are with you buddy... I know it must be hard but it will all be for the better I promise you! Hold on and just hold out for what your heart wants. Dont settle and in the end you will be forever happy

By the way I picked up another 116610 LV last Tuesday from my Ad and was thinking of you the entire time

agsstructures · 13 February 2012, 11:43 AM

Dino,

I feel your pain, sold my Sub-C last year and only have my IWC 5001. Looking to get a Rolex back on my wrist ASAP. Good luck to you my friend in your quest for the 18k!

kilyung · 13 February 2012, 12:05 PM

Ergo, keep a primary and secondary backup! Don't fret Dino, you'll get your watch soon enough. Keep your eyes on the prize.

thewatchguy93 · 13 February 2012, 07:03 PM

Thank you so much everyone!!!

Your words are much appreciated

I will be rising the number of my posts per day very soon, I currently have seriously long hours at work and don't have the time to post.. Give me a few days and I'll be back as per usual

I hope that soon enough you will have one of these beauties back on your wrist.

Thanks alot Travis mate

LightOnAHill · 14 February 2012, 03:16 AM

I know you said you haven't decided, but which few or many of the 18k watches are catching your eye?

How about some 18k gold Poetry:

I too have gold fever,
and am saving for the 18k daytona,
my grail,

and everytime i go to the AD
(which is right next door
to my downtown office --
when i found this out,
i just HAD to sign the lease)
I look at the green sub
and lust and druel,

but then they pull out that gold
and I have to say I'm sold.
The sub will have to wait! ;)

Best of luck to ya, rootin' here for it!

esm · 14 February 2012, 03:21 AM

Hey Dino, we have missed you lately. Hope all is well mate.

What happened to your G Shock watches?

Oyster Junkie · 14 February 2012, 03:22 AM

I learned my lesson from your mistakes. My LV-C is never leaving me!!!

dpkong · 14 February 2012, 03:31 AM

put all the cash in a good investment and when the time is right, you'll have gold on the wrist..

working your axx off helps as well!!

good luck and i do pray you get what you want sooner rather than later.

DiamondJack · 14 February 2012, 05:25 AM

We did all tell you Dino....

Any particular reason why you rushed to sell your LVc when you still need time to save for your golden grail ????

Just one bit of advice going forward...........

Don't rush into the next one until you're absolutely 100% positive on which precise gold model you want...... It gets rather more expensive changing your mind when you're dealing with the full gold versions.....

Best of luck mate

RRGHOST1 · 14 February 2012, 05:28 AM

The only thing that was greener on the other side of the fence was your green SubC !

HL65 · 14 February 2012, 05:40 AM

Dino--stay strong! You are missed here and your time will come!

nauticajoe · 14 February 2012, 05:42 AM

Hang in there Dino. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

X2 Agreed. The LVC is one watch I will never trade away.

meloncap78 · 15 February 2012, 05:05 AM

Tell you what Dino, you get your gold beauty and I will trade you my Hulk

. Tell you what though, I know the feeling. Hang in there man.
