Vintage is NOT for me.

[Nicko]

I really hate to say this, but after careful thought and the battle I have been having about trading my 5513 for another vintage model I have come to the conclusion that I will never be happy wearing a vintage model for everyday wear. I am too much of a perfectionist when it comes to watches amongst other things and with vintage it's very difficult to be like that unless you have deep pockets.

I really loved my 16610 that I had and truly am upset that I traded it off. It's kinda like the guy who trades his new Lexus in for a 1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible. They are nice to look at and drive once in awhile but for everyday it lacks comfort and convenience of a newer model.

I will be trading my 5513 off for a new model, most likely an LV becuase I like larger plots.

Anyway, I will be sad to see her go, but my lifestyle just doesn't permit me to own 2 so it will have to be one that I can wear everyday without worry.

Comments are welcome, but please don't rag on me as I know my faults and I do this type of thing all the time, last time it was with a car and this time it's with a watch. The Lexus analogy wasn't just a made up one!
