I found myself walking into the Rolex AD this afternoon on my way home. I saw this and I still don't know how I walked home empty handed. The price was right, it was all set. But cooler heads prevailed and I remembered I'm trying to thin the herd a bit and that I have my very much loved and recently serviced 16600 at home waiting to be worn.

It is sooooo pretty though. It'll haunt my dreams, I know it.

travisb · 29 May 2014, 08:23 PM

Looks damn good!
Been wondering if I will resist or give in once I see one.

nickb732 · 29 May 2014, 08:24 PM

Oh right, that is beautiful. Love the matte dial.

superdog · 29 May 2014, 08:24 PM

Boy oh boy. That does look good.

Muzz · 29 May 2014, 08:24 PM

You are a stronger man than most!!! I would have cratered LOL

Yep. Hence the dilemma, having this one already.

I must say, the bracelet, the ceramic, everything feels and looks just right on the SDc. I bet that if I decide to go get it, it will be gone. The AD claimed to have only one specimen in stock.

I only feel regret when I walk away from watches that are hard to find again. At least you can pick that one up any time if the going gets tough.

cop414 · 29 May 2014, 08:54 PM

Love that dial... it's calling you...

Urosfan · 29 May 2014, 09:04 PM

Looks real good

AK797 · 30 May 2014, 01:37 AM

Relax and have a nice cuppa, cheers.

They'll make more. The SDC will be in the catalog for the next twenty years.

Personally I'd rather have the one you've already got.

Vipes · 30 May 2014, 03:55 AM

Oh, that does look nice. I am impressed that you showed restraint by not making the purchase.

I have the 16600 also and I'm really trying to resist the urges of getting the SD-C. Thanks for the pic.

Tseg · 30 May 2014, 04:28 AM

I've only ever paid cash for watches... and I'm 4 months away from having enough in my watch fund to get the EXP II at the AD or 3 months if I get through a TRF reseller. My AD is offering a 12 month interest free credit card through the end of June. Its killing me.

As you can imagine, 3-4 months in an eternity in watch years.

AS1 · 30 May 2014, 04:32 AM

impressive restraint!

wantonebad · 30 May 2014, 04:34 AM

Succumb, give-in, stop fighting it!! You know you want it, make it happen. Be the spineless jellyfish I want you to be so I can live vicariously through you since if I pull the trigger my wife's divorce lawyer will be on speed-dial shortly there after...

Looks great on you! But good job holding back!

Looks good on you, it will keep calling out to you.....👍

tkerrmd · 30 May 2014, 10:54 AM

Wow great will power!

samsam · 30 May 2014, 11:00 AM

It really looks great on you. This is by far the best wrist shot I've seen.
At least you know now what you want next.

KINGROLESAR · 30 May 2014, 11:20 AM

Yea, it's a great Rolex at a great price, it's beautiful and everyone at TRF thinks the matte dial is rather spectacular - BUT do you really want another one of these things? Another watch... Really?

porschedude · 30 May 2014, 11:22 AM

Give up, this is a fight you can not win

Hairdude1 · 30 May 2014, 11:25 AM

Boy that looks great! I don't know if I could have held back

bboris · 30 May 2014, 11:30 AM

sea-dweller · 30 May 2014, 11:31 AM
