Expensive Day

Alright...here goes... It all started when I started watch the For Sale section here last week looking for a GMT coke/pepsi... well I found it and made a purchase from Tony (justrolexes) and am loving every minute of my new coke. The problem is that this started the entire Rolex flu as my wife calls it, next thing I was in the AD earlier this week but left empty handed as I could not get this discount I wanted.... Then it happened, 3pm today my phone rings, my AD not only gave me the discount I wanted, they also ate the sales tax. Thats all it took folks, over to the AD I went and I am back with this. I hope I start to fit in more around here because everyone else must think I am crazy

Let me know what you think...









The DJ is for my wife, she currently has a TT midsize but has been starting to wear my watches and we cant have that so I got this for her... She is really loving the fad of the bigger watches. It has the blue concentric dial and arabics, its a knockout

Thanks guys, please tell me I have not completely lost my mind

'Crazy' seems to be a prerequisite around here, so I guess you'll want to perpetuate your current reputation.

Congratulations, Adam. The flu seems to suit you.

Gorgeous set!! Dig the colors, very vibrant trio. ENJOY!!

Someone should come up with an official "TRF crazy club" card for the signature line, because you've earned it!!

To top that unveiling is going to take some serious work on your part......LOL.

Beautiful watches! As to your question of whether you're crazy - if you either have no job or make $30K/year, you're crazy. If things are going well, enjoy! Life is short.
