I had an interesting conversation with my friend (actually he is also my boss, and a fellow Rolex-enthusiast) about my recent yearning for a GMT-II C. I told him that it was on my mind, and I was saving up to purchase one. He said it sounded like a great idea, then I told him I had even considered selling my Daytona and buying it immediately. He went like this:

He said as long as he had known me, (about 8 years) I had coveted that SS Daytona. He said I had no qualms about selling my old GMT to get it, and he had never seen me so stoked as when I picked it up from the AD; (he is right by the way). Getting a GMT II by saving up for one is a great idea, but getting rid of my Grail watch is sacrilage.

He gave me this analogy, think of the guy that cheated on Sandra Bullock, (insert any beautiful, wonderful spouse or partner here), why did he do it? Because he wanted something he didn't have, just like I am doing now for the GMT II. I want something new, something different, even though I have something I was so totally crazy about and lusted after for years, I now feel I need something ... new and different.

It kind of clicked in me how absolutely right he was! There is nothing wrong with getting the GMT, and I will save until I get one, but getting rid of a grail... why? Because I want something new... something I don't currently have.... I have something fantastic but lust after something just out of reach. I found it a real eye-opening conversation, and realize deep down if I did get rid of my Daytona, I would definitely regret it.

Anyone else know what I am talking about?
