I traded away my SD to DavidSW for another piece - I immediately regretted that move - I called David and purchased it back from him. I got the SD back today and could not be happier. Thanks again David for getting it back to me so fast.

BaltimoreBrian · 28 July 2013, 02:39 AM

Sometimes we let certain pieces go and we know almost immediately it was a wrong move. I'm glad you were so easily able to get it back.

What were you thinking of trading it in for?

joejoe1225 · 28 July 2013, 02:44 AM

I Purchased the Explorer II 42mm White Dial - I like them all - Thats my problem!!!

77T · 28 July 2013, 02:58 AM

The SD + the new Expl.II should make a nice combo for day and night...

joejoe1225 · 28 July 2013, 03:00 AM

Thank you!!!

wisguy · 28 July 2013, 03:02 AM

Good for you, that's a hard piece to let go.

I know the feeling, one of my worst moves was to sell my AP 15300 and Diver becasue it looked like I would need the money, in the end I didn't...

nickng · 28 July 2013, 03:07 AM

I always regretted it when after I had traded in my Rolexes in the past

Thank goodness you realized it quickly and got it back.
SD is a charm. And you did good.

SeamasterGMT · 28 July 2013, 03:08 AM

Don't let that one go mate - ever.

impalass · 28 July 2013, 03:12 AM

Good to hear you realized it immediately and were able to get it back.

Took me much too long to realize selling my two line Sub was a mistake.

travisb · 28 July 2013, 03:20 AM

Haha!
I've done the same thing with David before.
Glad to see the SD back at home.

HL65 · 28 July 2013, 03:22 AM

Glad you got it back!

Manofsteelpt · 28 July 2013, 03:27 AM

Did you keep the new piece?

I hear that! Haha. Glad you got your SD back, that's a nice piece.

wingku · 28 July 2013, 04:18 AM

My problem is I can't let them go! But that's a first world problem.

joejoe1225 · 28 July 2013, 04:32 AM

Yes kept the new piece as well - They are all so nice!!!

luvsub · 28 July 2013, 04:34 AM

Sd is a keeper.

cop414 · 28 July 2013, 05:48 AM

Wow, kudos to DavidSW for doing this for you, speaks volumes about the man. Now don't ever make that mistake again!

bridgs · 28 July 2013, 07:16 AM

Congrats!

rolex75216 · 28 July 2013, 07:23 AM

Good thing you were working with a trusted seller and a great guy like DavidSW. Looks awesome on you. Your wrist is the perfect size for the SD. Congrats!

subtona · 28 July 2013, 07:38 AM

The SD & Exp II polar are the ideal companions!
Congrats

Urosfan · 28 July 2013, 07:39 AM

Glad things turned out ok

Racerdj · 28 July 2013, 07:48 AM

Great ending to your story!

Thebiglagu · 28 July 2013, 07:51 AM

There's not a day that goes by that I don't regret selling my v serial seadweller 4000! I want another one so bad!

I sold my M serial 16610 when it looked like I might need the money, and I didn't in the end. I still miss that watch. George Ab gave me a good deal when I sold it to him!

Travelller · 28 July 2013, 08:08 AM

Glad you got her back - the Exp II is a great Rolex but so is the SD and they're already hard to come by!!!

Armyguy03 · 28 July 2013, 09:08 AM

Very glad you got it back. If times ever came, I'd sell everything but my SD, hands down my favorite watch.

520Matt · 28 July 2013, 09:24 AM

I can only let the ones i dont love go... So far that has only been one....

Frogman4me · 28 July 2013, 09:32 AM

Glad you got it back, the seadweller is a must. Looks like a keeper :)

CWIN · 28 July 2013, 09:32 AM

I did the same thing, but also got my original back. I feel much better now haha.
