It's been a while... did some soul searching
And finally found peace amongst the entire Rolex range.
Let's face it. I've owned pretty much every single model in most finishes over the years, and could never get comfy. Perhaps I'm pulling a "seth" (haha :P) but I think I found my Rolex-soulmate. Ironically, this was the watch that started it all for me. I purchased it YEARS ago and flipped it same hour as I got it at MSRP, and sold it for 2x MSRP. I never even took it out of the box. Shame, it would have saved me some money! Without further ado, here is the brand new piece that my dealer just got in from Rolex CND.   Now a black bay next month and I'll be at a good two watch rotation Ah the feeling of ZEN =) |

Funny. After coming close to flipping a few times, I've come to the conclusion that the Daytona is my favorite Rolex...one that can't leave.

As Darth Vader said to Obi-Wan, "the circle is now complete".
Congratulations on reacquiring a great watch.

Beautiful. The more I see this watch, the more I just want to bypass the Sub and save a couple extra thousand for this....beauty...

Will, A great choice
but hope you don't mind if I don't hold my breath on the "no more flipping" thing  I was about to nominate you to the flipper hall of fame. I do hope you find peace.

What's a beauty!!!
Btw 2 watch rotation? I'd normally say you're crazy, however I've built up such a collection it's made me a bit bored, and appreciate each one less :( not cool I'm sure you've gone through this |
