Dilemma solved.

As a few have suggested I do in my last thread regarding my recent watch trials and tribulations, I have taken their advice. Just picked up a new random serial 14060M for the...........................................wait for it................................................ .the FOURTH FRICKIN time ............If I haven't learned by now after coming back to it over and over and over and over I never will. Evidently, I am a little thick headed

Thank you JustRolexes for putting up with me. You are a saint. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

Thank you baby Jesus............................Amen.

Dan - Great news.
Congrats.
You have got through as many watches as I have cameras. No mean feat believe me!

All the best with it mate. I think the 14060M is the sweetest watch Rolex have ever made. But that's just me - I've got one.

I'd put up with you if you were singlehandedly paying my mortgage/putting the kids through college/paying for the new boat/allowing me to holiday in bora-bora etc. etc. etc...

Dan, I think you just like the lifestyle of buying and flipping watches whenever you like it. Some men can't be faithful to one woman, you can't be faithful to one Rolex!

You Casanova you! Congratulations on that purchase!

He's a serial monogamist!

I heard they wish they had a bad reputation so they could have a break from him from times to times!

Look at this way......................

In order to own the 14060M ten times you had to reach number 4 sooner or later.





















Congrats, hope it works out for you this time.

Here's hoping your latest 14060M keeps you as happy as my 14060 has kept me.

Glad it all worked out ok in the end. The 14060M is just class, and will look just as good 20 to 30 years from now.
