Ok we all know the deal about selling my Sub-LVc.. I'm already missing wearing a Rolex and its only Day 1 without one..

If you were me what would you do..?

Would you continue to save and wear my Breitling Chronomat Evolution?

OR...

Would you sell the Breitling and buy this beauty to keep me entertained until my gold Rolex can be achieved? (It will chip away a little amount from my Gold Rolex fund)..

What are your thoughts everyone?

JustABreathAway · 2 February 2012, 10:15 AM

My goodness I would save and save and save. That's a lovely watch, and looks great in that picture, but I want to see you in GOLD!!! (and I think you do, too!)

Oyster Junkie · 2 February 2012, 10:16 AM

Sounds like you answered your own question Dino. If it speaks to you, why not?

toph · 2 February 2012, 10:16 AM

i am not sure as to why you sold the LV unfortunately but keep the chron evo 100%, its a much nicer watch than the exp II in my opinion

The GMT Master · 2 February 2012, 10:16 AM

I would stay focused on the gold, Dino mate

I'm sure the Breitling will keep you good company until it's time to get your grail

I sold it to fund my Gold Rolex

HL65 · 2 February 2012, 10:18 AM

Exactly...don't deviate from the plan Dino!

rfknauss · 2 February 2012, 10:19 AM

Dino ...... I would buy the Explorer II ..... you never want to be without a Rolex on your wrist!

JustABreathAway · 2 February 2012, 10:19 AM

That second from the last shot makes the watch look great on you, but I must concur with the others - stay on target, stay on target!! (Do they have Star Wars in the UK?)

MortgageGuy · 2 February 2012, 10:22 AM

IMHO skip the Explorer Dino... I would stay on track for the gold as this is what your heart truly desires... That being said I would buy the new Explorer 42 to hold yourself over

Thanks everyone... Bloody hard this.. ONLY DAY 1 TOO....

petesjag · 2 February 2012, 10:31 AM

Sell the breitling while you can and add to your fund. In the mean time find an inexpensive but nice watch to hold you over. I have a good friend who used to have an AD but sold it and now has a dealership with less expensive but some really nice timepieces..worth looking into..I'm Sure there is a likewise dealership where you live...

Lion · 2 February 2012, 10:44 AM

Continue to save toward your goal.....

Sell Breitling when there is still good value and go for the gold

If you don't have another watch, I would buy a pre-loved Expy II so you can sell it without losing much if any in the future and think of buying a used SS Rolex as putting $$ in a savings account.

mjclark32 · 2 February 2012, 10:48 AM

Keep saving, hope it comes soon Dino.

matt4hand · 2 February 2012, 10:53 AM

As the experts have said, save and wait!

Sell the evolution to put in the GOLD fund!

FremStar · 2 February 2012, 11:00 AM

I can only say this in a picture....

Byrdguy · 2 February 2012, 11:01 AM

Sell the Breitling, buy the EXPII and wear it until you have nearly enough for the 18kt then flip the EXPII for the final amount. OR, sell the Breitling and buy/wear a lower priced model from SINN. Save save save!!

thewatchguy93 · 2 February 2012, 11:02 AM

Thanks eveyone

It's not a matter of life or death here. Ofcourse you can live without a luxuary watch..just takes some adjusting..

93 Turbo · 2 February 2012, 11:16 AM

Just don't think the Exp II will be that gold piece you are wanting.

So the, why would you possibly buy an Expy???? Its kind of defeating the purpose of selling the Sub...............wear the Breitling until you have the funds to buy the watch you really want.

JUSTROLEXES · 2 February 2012, 11:45 AM

Don't trade as I am sure you will miss your Evolution as well... Just save your $$$ and jump once you're ready

I would sell my Breitling and replace it with an EXP, its not going to delay my gold perchase at all really..

seand442 · 2 February 2012, 11:47 AM

If you are going all in for gold, go all in. The expy won't quench your thirst. Do what you have to do and save.

john333 · 2 February 2012, 12:44 PM

I wouldn't get the ExpII Dino, and I also would not sell the Evo. It really serves you no purpose to sell it right now unless it would give you all the remaining funds needed for your gold Rolex. I would keep saving towards the ultimate goal...and if you decide to sell the Evo then do so at the end to fund the last bit needed.

No reason to go without a nice watch...and you also won't clear any additional money by moving it now as opposed to later.
