OK..I think I'm officially crazy..

Only one week after buying my first Rolex, see post here:

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=163309

I am already thinking of moving on to my second :oops: ...I mean the 16610 is truly a very nice watch but I have become accustomed to large watches in the 42-45mm range and every time I put the 16610 on my wrist I dont feel too impressed...I am very aware that quality and weight are not proportional in any way...but I think I want more heft :bounce:..

So I am ehmmm..looking at trading the 16610 for a DSSD :shock: ...has anyone here made the switch? Do you think it is worthwhile? I am asking for your opinion cause a LNIB 16610 is not going to be very easy to replace a short time for now :( ...and I cant keep both for 4 reasons:

1) I have self limited my collection to around 6 watches so need to move one to buy another
2) I might not have the budget for 2 expensive Rollies
3) My girlfriend will kill me...
4) My girlfriend will kill me...

In my eyes, apart from the obvious size difference there are a few advantages to it which I think I really like (I only listed those which interest me..for example 3900m vs 300m WR rating is not important to me):

- Larger markers and hands
- Better lume
- Better clasp
- Upgraded movement

Thanks for any help and opinions...
