So I sold my last Rolex...

[anothernewphone]

After a couple years of flipping, I have decided I need to step back and count some blessings. Finding out the things I like and dislike in watches has been fun, and I'm sure when I finally spring for a new watch, I'll be hitting up one of my favorite trusted sellers and buying a keeper. Hopefully my wife does it for my 30th birthday and I'll finally hold onto another watch. The only one I haven't flipped is the Carrera Twin Time she bought me for our wedding.

What drove me to sell was a new motorcycle, and I absolutely thrilled with my decision. I was debating between a Yamaha R1, a Kawasaki ZX-10R ABS, and the BMW S1000RR as a stretch. I hit a few dealerships, talked numbers, and played them against each other.

I would up getting a few hundred more dollars for my trade-in, and I got the optional ABS for $1300 less than their advertised "sale price" on the Kawi ZX-10R. It's going to be the first liter bike I've owned, but not the first I've ridden. I spent 7 seasons on my R6, and I felt like now is the time to upgrade. I got the "whatever you like, dear" from the wife, once she realized that the money I'm spending after the trade-in is less than I've spent on most of my watches.

Here's the best I can do right now as far as pics, a stock image:


I'm awaiting the imminent arrival of my R6's title, to finalize the trade and pick up my bike within the next few days/
