Congrats on selling it. Hopefully that'll be the extent of what you'll need to part with.

Hey JJ don't get blue about it mate. You still have that TT.

I hope you got a good price for it. I know how you feel, as I have been there last year when I flipped my GMT Master II. I recall you told me not to at the time. Should've llstened to you then!!

Good luck with everything JJ!

JJ,

Sad to hear that your Sub has to go, but chin up buddy.

Perhaps a job is coming up the horizon. My Godfather used to say, everything could be available for sale except the wife and kids. I don't know if this would sound offensive in other cultures, but I mean well. But things come around, you will be shopping fer yer new Rollie.

Good luck !!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys....truly appreciated.

The watch has gone to a very nice guy in Australia. Hopefully, he will log onto our forum and become a member once he gets the watch. I'm despatching it off today....received the funds only yesterday.

He should receive the watch in a couple of days max. Just across the Tasman!!

You need to tell him that the watch has aunts and uncles who watch out (ha!) for it. If he does not logon here he owed you more $$$.

Hmmm,I wonder if the "17th selling" is just not a "planning phase" for nr 19 ??

Something in the direction of a newly launched TT model,with a touch of green,anniversary offering and big white spots on the dial ??

I'm sure it's really tough to part with her JJ, but I have a feeling she will be replaced sooner than you think...crossing my fingers for you on the job hunt As long as you have your health you have it all, right?!
