<<<The Perils of The itch of Flipping >>>

So , I’m not a flipper ... usually

Though many on here have become acquainted with
this custom unfortunately... I have not , so to speak !!!
Though I must admit and I can certainly see the
attraction to wanting something new quite often ...

So often I’ve thought of flipping , selling my beloved
Bluesy Sub C for another partner ... I.E. other Rolex
reference, mechanical watch ...

Then , I pause .................................................. .
Is this other reference (watch) really going to do it for me ?
How long before the honeymoon is over ?
Will I enjoy wearing it everyday for xxx amount of days / years ?
Will it tickle my fancy , long term ... ?
Is it mesmerizing, captivating, enthralling me to the core ???
If all these don’t tick then I may as well not flip !!! Or flop !!!

So in the short term even though I may have considered another
partner in time keeping ...
The iconic Blue Submariner still weighs heavy and stronjg in ticking all
the above ....

Next time you feel the urge , ask yourself...
Will I love it and enjoy it as much everyday as I do
with my current time keeping partner ???
If not , save your pennies for another day!!!!
There are many Delilah’s out there ...
They could become very costly if wisdom and prudence
are not applied so keep your eyes peeled and wide opened !!!
