That is right, I have traded/sold off the latest addition, much to the anticipated anger of Ed.

But what is coming is a true classic that has already stood the test of time. Not a watch that I thought I would want, but alas I am just flat out drawn to this watch. I fought hard with this decision, and in the end after talking it over with Bruce on the phone today, I know I made a very sound decision.

I based my criteria on what I really want in a watch and not some wild ass goose chase which is what I have been on. I told Bruce on the phone today, I am not sure if this one will make me happy, but it sure as hell won't disappoint.

Unfortunately the watch will arrive on Wednesday, fortunately I worked it out that it is being shipped to my brothers house in Hawaii. So I will have two watches on vacation afterall.

So that gives about three and a half days of guessing. I will give one clue, I have never owned this watch before, although I owned one that is almost identical in the past.

Cheers!

Nice!!!could another rollie be on the way????

JJ Irani · 15 January 2006, 02:50 PM

Daren,

You make my flippin' and all my wheelin' and dealin' pretty mediocre by your standards!!!

BTW, I do hope the new one is a Rolex....you know that will make me very happy!!

padi56 · 15 January 2006, 08:01 PM

Well Daren that was a great looking UN,but its all down to you,its what smiles to you,and smiles back.

mailman · 16 January 2006, 12:56 AM

Hey Daren. I liked the UN but if it didn't smile all that much at you then you made the right choice. Can't wait to see the new one.

The difference between Daren and me is he hardly even gives his watches time to "smile" back at him!! In all fairness to me, I at least let them sleep a few nights with Lady YM, give them a good time and then get rid of them!!

dman · 16 January 2006, 03:54 AM

No JJ, the difference is, if I don't like something I don't force it, I just move it along.

LOL. "Terminate; with extreme predijuce."

I am the same way bro. Once I wake up one morning and decide that it aint there, it aint there.

I refuse to let it bother me, you ungrateful young whipper snapper. Just for that, you have moved down the list below Paul.

But it doesn't phase me at all that you got rid of that beauty, not at all.

dman · 16 January 2006, 11:30 AM

Ah c'mon Ed, we have history, those other tossers are fly by night, they are just after your money. I am in it for the love and family.

OT, but I was in my AD yesterday and tried on the PAM GMT. The one they had was a 40 mm. I liked it. I was wearing the Breitling and it's interesting how much smaller it looked. I'm not sure I would get one for my collection, but it would be the one PAM that I would consider.

Oh yeah, the 159 is a sexy watch. Especially on the croc strap with deployment.

I think you would love that baby, actually I know you would.

I believe that puts me in pole position. Too bad, so sad, Daren.

BTW, my guess is that you've got a PAM90 or a 93 on the way. Hmmm, or maybe a tobacco dialed base.

Hogwash, you want his money & Johnny wants his knowledge. Me, I just want to hang with you Ed. Maybe have a few scotches straight up while we watch a few baseball games.

No Daren, the real, real difference is that you never proclaim a watch is forever and ever as some blad person on this board is prone to doing (even when we know it's not the case!)........

Nope, Daren's never "pulled a JJ" even with his beloved YM. The one thing that Daren is consistent with is that his best watch is the watch currently on his wrist..

You need to learn to look that authority in the eye and not back down. I actually loved the UN, but Ed threatened me and so I traded it. I am my own man. (Ed, if you read this I am just joking).

Yes, I'm reading this Daren. And if you think I believe you, think again. It's a matter of public record that I told you to keep the UN. But no, you had to go trade it for (probably) some POS. I'll bet you got a Pumpkin and you're afraid to tell me. If that's what you got, I will make it my personal project to ban you for life from every forum you frequent.
