I almost Made A BIG Mistake
I traded away my SD to DavidSW for another piece - I immediately regretted that move - I called David and purchased it back from him. I got the SD back today and could not be happier. Thanks again David for getting it back to me so fast.

Sometimes we let certain pieces go and we know almost immediately it was a wrong move. I'm glad you were so easily able to get it back.
What were you thinking of trading it in for? |

The SD + the new Expl.II should make a nice combo for day and night...

Good for you, that's a hard piece to let go.
I know the feeling, one of my worst moves was to sell my AP 15300 and Diver becasue it looked like I would need the money, in the end I didn't...

I always regretted it when after I had traded in my Rolexes in the past
 Thank goodness you realized it quickly and got it back. SD is a charm. And you did good.

Good to hear you realized it immediately and were able to get it back.
Took me much too long to realize selling my two line Sub was a mistake.

My problem is I can't let them go! But that's a first world problem.

Good thing you were working with a trusted seller and a great guy like DavidSW. Looks awesome on you. Your wrist is the perfect size for the SD. Congrats!

I sold my M serial 16610 when it looked like I might need the money, and I didn't in the end. I still miss that watch. George Ab gave me a good deal when I sold it to him!

Glad you got her back - the Exp II is a great Rolex but so is the SD and they're already hard to come by!!!

Very glad you got it back. If times ever came, I'd sell everything but my SD, hands down my favorite watch.
