Confession of a Chronic Flipper...Finally Satisfied...Rolex Date Just II Rhodium

[jwkunkle]

Greetings friends. I just received what I hope to be the watch that I have been searching for over the past 4 years. Had an amusing conversation with my incredibly understanding wife about my watch odyssey over the last few years and started to reminisce on all the watches I have blown through.

I have for one reason or another never been satisfied with my current watch and always wanting something next...often flipping watches the same day the new watch was received.

I compiled a little list of the watches that I have owned over the last few years, many of which you will see were repeats (how many times can one person buy and sell and buy again an Omega Planet Ocean)??

Here is a quick list of the victims...

Jeez. Enough to drive a normal man crazy. Constant flipping and flopping. Never satisfied. Always wanting something else.

Well...I am hoping this is it. I am finally able to look at my wrist and be truly satisfied. This is my grail. The perfect blend of dress and occasional casual wear. It's only taken me almost a half of a decade to find her.

I present my Date Just II V Series Rhodium dial. I am in love!!
