Tomorrow Gold??? 116713LN
Well after much thought and diliberation I finally decided that I needed to have some gold in my collection...Why..Because I adore the color of the yellow gold against the SS...
The only problem is that gold rolex's can be an expensive slippery slope to ride on...after doing much addition and related bookkeeping in terms of my finances I came to the conclusion that a new TT was not smart in my given situation and that I need be even headed in my purchasing practices...Im sure this is a topic for many of us here.... Tomorrow im bringing my SS GMT IIc to trade for a TT version and could not be more excited. This way im not gaining yet another watch for my collection and going way over my head in spending. For just a fraction of the cost, a trade in will yeld me the gold im looking for.. I will post some pics tomorrow of my v series, still in stickers 116713LN!! pete

TT is stunning in any model, it is class, I think everyone should have a TT in there collection, the differance in price between the stainless and TT models is to be expected given the price of gold...
