Same thing that's happening to all of us ..... it's called OLD AGE


Seems more and more things either start to grow, or fall off/out

Keep the YM

My friend once owned a 16613 black dial. He told me, he had nothing but bad luck whenever he wore it. He almost got robbed once trying to sell it. He flipped it in 2008 and never looked back......

I think the Sub was a gift. Last time he said he wasn't letting it go. I say just buy it, theres always room for more.

I have to respectfully disagree with Karis, the TT Blue Sub suits you far better then the YM. I still wouldn't make an impulse flip but I would definitely figure out a way to get Bluesy back on your wrist where it belongs. Just my .02

I still remember how much you used to talk about Bluesy #2. She was quite a beaut! You have to be losing some money on each of the flips, am I correct? (assuming you only buy from AD)
