You've been Rol~exd

Congrats Dan!

That is what I thought when I just owned a 14270. Until I felt the need for a glossy 5513

Now a matte dial Sub is calling my name

TimeOnHand · 2 November 2011, 02:11 PM

It never ends mate, but good luck with it!

Sounds like vintage stuff in the future for Dan :)

520Matt · 2 November 2011, 04:39 PM

Best of luck Dan, I fear that you'll be longing for the 14060 40mm soon....

nch209 · 2 November 2011, 04:44 PM

You'll be back flipping.... you'll be back!!!

marshallr47 · 2 November 2011, 05:39 PM

Dan, good for you. I do hope this makes you happy. Just be careful...a recovering alcoholic wouldn't visit a bar, the same analogy could be used here. Limit your viewing of TRF would probably help...lol! Best of luck.

travisb · 2 November 2011, 07:39 PM

I hope it's the answer to your search. Great choice.

Cru Jones · 2 November 2011, 09:15 PM

good luck, dan. you're right to take a break and catch your breathe after all the flipping.

you'll be back. (said with arnold's terminator accent.)

I know I`ve heard this song somewhere before,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ah, now I remember ,

"you can check out any time you like,but you can never leave"

gregmoeck · 2 November 2011, 10:15 PM

haha , sounds like I was reading about my own story, I'm done as well, I've been through a lot of watches. I am sticking with my 16610 that's if I can avoid looking at the for sale section of this board. I might venture into Vintage now LOL

It's the same with guitars, you are constantly chasing the dragon. buy, sell buy sell.

gwozhog · 2 November 2011, 11:16 PM

10 Rolex's in 20 months. Almost as good as my single days in my 20's.

dhh · 2 November 2011, 11:21 PM

I feel your pain - I secretely have kept my watch affair from my wife. 1 year and 25 Rolex's for me - thankfully they are pretty liquid assets that have a quick turn around time into cash.

I agree - I cannot get past the great feel of my old watches - my 3-6-9 sub, my 5514 or my early 5513 beater. I've tried to love the new ones from multiple gold daytonas and my Heritage creations but the new ones just have no personality.

I am on the quest daily though for another watch - I just don't know what it is - I am not as strong as you to drop the hobby hot potato.

Jolu · 3 November 2011, 05:57 AM

I can relate to this revelation...

Numerous watches of many brands has challenged its position as my daily wearer, but I've kept mine since i got it eight years ago.

Good luck, Dan!

Thanks Dan, a great read.

HL65 · 4 November 2011, 08:55 AM

As long as you had fun Dan...One rule in Rolex collecting though: Things change!

Many come back in spite of intentions!!

Perdu · 4 November 2011, 09:06 AM

Well the EXP 1 is definitely a classic with a wonderful history. Enjoy and stay strong.
