At The End of the Day.......I Came Back to Rolex!!!!!!

Back a few years ago, sold all my Rolex timepieces, thinking I needed to buy the latest and hottest.........Panerai, IWC......even a Breitling Transocean Unitime. As much as I could appreciate these watches, within weeks, I was always looking for something else and it was right in front of me.........Rolex!!!!! Once I had that revelation I knew what I had to do........sold and traded all the others and here's the first of my re-entry into Rolex.............the DSSD!!!!!

I started with ROLEX. Then I bought around and around and came back to ROLEX. I possess no feelings to try any other brand now. Good move.

Next time you decide to sell off your Rolexes, club yourself with that DSSD first.
