VERDICT- To flip or not to flip.......this fool needs help!!!
First off- I would like to sincerely thank all 81 people who took the time to give your opinion in my watch dilemma. I read every single one of them twice, and it without a doubt helped me make my decision. Drum roll please- I decided to flip one DJII (TT slate grey) and not both (the smooth bezel blue Romans) for the SS YMII. I bared down and cracked into the kids college savings account (student loan rates are low) and paid the difference rather than going DJ-less. (I really didn't take from my kids 529s). You guys slowed me down and thanks for that. So, the "BIG BLUE" will be here on Friday. Pics coming on Friday......

I would have sold the shark. That thing has to be expensive to maintain and it's only going to get bigger.

Well congrats! If what you had wasn't 'doing it' for you, then why not flip for what you want.

Congrats! Sad to see the Wimbledon leave your collection, however, I will keep that flag flying in your honor!

I'm normally not a huge fan of the reference (the 9 o'clock marker throws me), but, wow, this is easily the best picture of the watch on the net. (Even if the watch still is stickered. ). Very nice!!As for the YMII, congrats! Enjoy the new beauty. :-) |
