Flipped in 40 Hours

You know I never was an all SS watch kind of guy before TRF. After reading 100,000 plus post on here I thought I would give one a try. I picked up a F serial Sea Dweller on the feb 13 and by the 27 the Honeymoon was over. I realized that for me a Rolex needs to have some precious metal for it to feel special. I posted an add on Craigslist on the 27th around lunch time and within minutes my email was chiming. Long story short the watch was sold in 40 hours to the first person who looked at it. That really says a lot about the Sea Dweller's value when it is that easy to sell. I probably will regret it selling it one day but I'm like Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels in dumb and dumberer. Please don't bring me any of that old wine it must be rotten. The only sub that sings to me is my TT subC. What is the fastest you have ever flipped a Watch?

According to many posts that i recall, the SD seems to be the most missed/regretted, from members whom have parted with it.
