I was surprised to see you let it go as I thought you really liked it.

I bought a 51 year old gilt GMT Master that was built during my birth year. There are not many good examples out there for sale.

My beautiful two tone datejust with tapestry face. I decided to wear it for 'good' only, so I had it serviced by Rolex. I still love it. I am looking at the Red 126600, and hope to find or order one. Sooooo excited!

I was very fortunate to be able to obtain my grail for my 50th. The watch actually became available about 6 months before my 50th and thanks to my wife, I did get it a little early. I got a mint 18238 with a recent Rolex service. Zero stretch, absolutely mint!

I would like to have this Zeitwerk before I am 50, I have a few years yet but I have pulled back from Lange before so I may need some time yet to pull the trigger.

Something dressy, classic, in precious metal. Probably a Patrimony.
