Gotta share some good news

What a day, do some of you here around 2005/2006 remember I sold my Rolex back then to help a mate out. Well I had a surprise today, the moneys been repaid and I have sold a few bits and pieces, which means I have enough to cover my shortfall whilst of sick, plus enough to buy a watch.

So choosing between the 14060M and an SD, I know both watches just gotta decide which one. Mappin and web are expecting the SD to come in by the weekend, the 14060M they already have in. So just got to wait for the phone call to let me know when the SD is in.

Will keep you updated. Wow this turned out to be a good day, by the way, sold on the Airking and was residing to just wearing a cheapo so to speak, just could not cope with 34mm, so decided money best in the bank.

One good deed deserves another!

Either way you decide, you still come out a winner.

Good to hear that someone finally repaid a "loan." Most of my loans ended up turning into gifts

Get the SD and don't look back

Wow, what a turnaround from a few days ago. That is great news. Good luck with whichever you choose. There may be something to that "Karma Thing".

Great news John. I guess the watch you get depends on whether you want a date or not. Either one and you can't go wrong.
