What a story I’ve had with this watch…

I originally had a yellow gold day date 40 with champagne dial bought several years ago (used) and over the last two years it’s been sent in twice for a service to change dial. The first time I was misquoted by several thousand which was the AD managers mistake, so I declined the service. A year later I thought F it I’m gonna get it done, went for a service and it needed other “recommended” bits doing to it that I didn’t wish to pay for. I got bored of the watch and traded it for a yellow gold Paul Newman Daytona and an air king.

I mentioned early in the year to my AD I MIGHT be interested if one become available but it wasn’t a definite.

Went to a Rolex event at an opera a couple of weeks ago and he had one and told me it was mine if I wanted it. I went back and forth on it over and over I extended the time I was going to give a final answer for it TWICE, and then sent him an email eventually saying that I really can’t make up my mind I’ll have to say no. He messaged back saying that’s fine and I replied that I wish I had said yes now and he had already sold it to another client.

Well of course the next day (today) I regretted it and called him up saying so. He said to me the other client couldn’t pick it up for a month or so and wouldn’t be too fussed if he waited for the next one and said he’ll speak to him and see if I can have it. And we made the deal!

What a pain in the backside customer I must be

I really struggle with spending large amounts of money I’ve worked very hard for it and used to have absolutely nothing! Moral of the story don’t be indecisive :)

When I bought my first ever gold watch I was looking at a day date 36 black diamond dial , it’s funny I find myself always gravitating towards what I liked when I first started buying watches.


Here’s a pic of when I tried it on at the event and a second picture trying it on AGAIN in the shop.

Picking up tomorrow :)

Congratulations Jay, it’s a real beauty.

I’ve lost count now, but I’m pretty sure you have more references than the average AD

So you did get my PM after all

Congrats brother. Well done. The universe was telling you something

[ltmgeller]

Congrats!!!

[bawlin]

Funny, I traded my yellow gold DD40 for a yellow gold Daytona (Paul Newman dial) a few months ago and now I find myself missing the watch and in the market for the exact one you just purchased.

Congrats, and enjoy!

[jb335]

Congrats, that’s one of my favorite current DDs

My mother always told me that's why there are so many dead squirrels in the road.




They couldn't make a decision.
Wear it in health.
Merry Christmas.

[army scope jockey]

I like my pimp watch.

Awesome score! Looks great on you!

[Carguy87]

Huge congrats Jay glad to see you pulled the trigger!!

[Podmornica]

I would never buy anything that expensive if I had so many second thoughts as at some point could prove to be a really bad decision and unloading such a piece would be quite a financial loss ..

Who invited you to the party? I can control my finances but thanks for the heads up

[travisb]

Congrats Jay! You just gotta go for it sometimes and don't look back.

[rmlovett1]

Nicely done! Congratulations!

[1st amg]

That is a killer Jay, great great choice!

[Trailboss516]

Congratulations on your watch! Such a sick looking piece, diamonds on a DD work IMO.
