Just a few of my best nostalgic pics of a dearly beloved departed friend!!

frostie · 24 February 2008, 05:20 AM

Don't worry JJ

You must have patience, true courage and pride my friend cause you did the best thing which was to help your family. You will always be able to buy a bluesy again

Chozn1 · 24 February 2008, 05:20 AM

You can borrow mine, for a small fee

You gotta do what you gotta do man. You can always get another down the road.

SPACE-DWELLER · 24 February 2008, 05:21 AM

I am sure your Bluesie got a nice new home. Just like you did yourself.

BuffaloRolex · 24 February 2008, 05:28 AM

Will be missed! But priorities are far more valuable than any watch.

DSJ · 24 February 2008, 05:29 AM

Gorgeous pics JJ! You've got those to remind yourself - I KNOW you'll have another Bluesy on your wrist some day in the near future!

PhilM · 24 February 2008, 05:32 AM

If my circumstances change where I need to fund other things, I suppose my watches are probably one of the first things that would go. I'm sure it won't be long JJ before something else arrives when finances improve

bgriz · 24 February 2008, 05:33 AM

Moment of silence...............................

jasonbellevue · 24 February 2008, 05:35 AM

At least Bluesy is getting more wrist time now JJ, and i'm sure his new owner is quite happy as Bluesy is quite stunning!

I ain't JJ. First the wife, then the kids, then the college funds, then the strippers and then maybe the watches.

f16570 · 24 February 2008, 06:12 AM

JJ, this is just a small setback. Platy rocks

Jimbits76 · 24 February 2008, 06:23 AM

JJ

Your love and admiration for that timepiece has rubbed off on us all.

We bid a fond farewell to Bluesy and wish her good luck in whatever journeys she mind find herself upon.

Bluesy has been flipped....long live Platty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carolina · 24 February 2008, 06:52 AM

Bye, Bluesy!

StanGMT · 24 February 2008, 07:03 AM

Great pics - great memories . . . but you have got your priorities right.

Stan.

Prince · 24 February 2008, 08:39 AM

Plan your strategies for a new one. Bluesy Phoenix, rising from the ashes of your current (but temporary) situation!!

blueface · 24 February 2008, 10:27 AM

JJ, I'm sorry for your loss.

Very wise, very true.

On the other hand, I just posted in the other thread and remain sorry to hear the news, necessary as the sale was. But now, after seeing those fantastic pics, I am compelled to vote you need another TT blue- they just suit your stellar, vivid personality all too well!!!

Exercise your great patience and wait 'till the vultures have their supper, then let 'er rip! It won't be long now, better things comming into range cap'n!

M-series, CRB, 'nuff said...

East Bay Rider · 24 February 2008, 10:37 AM

Bluesy had a lot of class.

We will miss you!

Sorry to hear JJ. Thanks for the memories!

BiG JeEzY · 24 February 2008, 05:45 PM

Bluesy was a watch with so much character, I am gonna really miss that TT Sub. It had so much history in this forum that I'll never forget. I'm sure its in good hands and that its new owner is so happy.

Alex Stylianou · 24 February 2008, 06:09 PM

The new owner is lucky , especialy getting a scratch free watch !

TAT2 · 24 February 2008, 06:29 PM

it'll only be that much sweeter when you get another... everything happens for a reason. But i gotta admit, it would upset me too!

jimbo1mcm · 24 February 2008, 07:01 PM

When you get your new replacement bluesy, you will enjoy it even more than the original, because you will be whole again. Sell the platty and get the new bluesy. And next time you try to do something like this, please consult us....your real watch family!!!!

1976 · 24 February 2008, 07:11 PM

What a sad story...but there's still Platty and I'm sure bluesy will return someday

Spark · 24 February 2008, 07:37 PM

It went for the right reasons mate

In the grand scheme of things it is only a watch there are a million others just the same if you can ever afford to replace it.
Your home and beautiful family are more important than a watch or any other thing for that matter.
Good luck in your newly refurbed home (no decorating for a while you lucky man!!).

May I just ask though, why have you got to pay for the work?
Is there no way you can claim on your buildings insurance?
Cheers,

Mark.
