Flipping question
I posted a few weeks ago that my Z-series Sea Dweller is with RSC in Dallas for service and that I plan to flip it when it comes back since it reminds me of my previous employer who laid me off unexpectedly after 10 years and 10 great performance reviews.
So what does a WIS do when they are selling one watch? Well, we look for others of course. What has caught my eye so far is a bit unexpected for me - the new 2013 Glashutte Original Senator Panorama Date Moon Phase in stainless steel on the black gator strap. I say "unexpected" not because of the brand, I've always loved GO, but because of the style. This wouldn't be a daily wearer because I don't dress up for work on a routine basis right now so I'm not sure how often I'd wear it. BUT, I can't stop admiring the beauty of this peice and the sapphire caseback reveals a beautiful movement, which includes 55 jewels and a 21k rotor! amitdevhanda.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/glashutte-original-re-designs-their-iconic-senator-collection-for-basel-2013/ I had been looking at the Pelagos and the Omega Ti PO, but I already have the SM300 which is a stunning dive watch, as well as the Helson, the Monster and even the Blancpain, Omega Great White and the Aerospace are rated at over 100 meters! The thing is, I won't get enough from the sale of the SD to fund the GO, so I'd have to flip a second watch to afford it. Looking at my collection, the only other ones that would bring in enough cash to do it would be the Blancpain, Aerospace or the Great White. The first two are too unique in my collection for me to flip, and since I won't let go of the Blancpain GMT, it makes sense to let go of the Great White instead. The GO is $11k MSRP and I talked to an AD yesterday that will give me 25% off and I might even be able to do better this fall from AD I know in Dallas when they lose their AD status due to the arrival of the GO boutique. What say you my fellow WISs? Is it worth flipping both the SD and the Great White for the GO?
