After all is said and done....

After all is said and done, bought some, sold some, but these are the Rolex watches I ended up with as keepers.



And the whole gang.

Nice presentation, Mark.

What prompted you to keep the ones you did?

Sold older DJs after the new upgrades came out.

Sold some OQ because wanted watches I could wear and was afraid I'd lose those crisp edges.

Sold my TT blue sub as the stamped bracelet and hollow center links did not seem fitting for a TT watch, does not bother me for SS watches though.

And best of all, these smiled at me the most.

Wonderful collection Mark. Made all the better because it's owned by one of the best in the hobby.

Well done.

I'm just trying to one day, catch up with you. Okay, catch ... no. But at least be in the same league.

At one point really wanted a Pepsi GMT, but will have a new addition to the family coming in November so funds will be shifted to daycare.

But plan on keeping what I have for a long time.
