Thanks! No oyster flex (I think this is with the gold models), just the standard Oyster bracelet.

Congrats! You have a great watch and narrowly avoided making a potentially regrettable decision!

Stevec14 · 25 August 2018, 02:12 AM

Awesome. Well done. Great watch. Now enjoy it.

HK Islandboy · 25 August 2018, 03:44 AM

Congratulations! Great that you went with your gut on this - the watch looks great on you

Ballzzz · 25 August 2018, 05:27 AM

Beautiful, I will join you one day. Maybe if i'm lucky.

Investr · 25 August 2018, 06:13 AM

These should “I buy a 12k watch I really dont want” threads really crack me up. These make me miss the “is it ok to get my sub wet” threads....

Nikrnic · 25 August 2018, 06:15 AM

Id say buy it, keep it, wear it. I am an enabler though. Hope your passion comes back, it did for me.

"Of course" replied the idiot without even hesitating.

So without further ado, here is my latest incoming!

Congratulations on the Daytona! I'm glad you gave it a shot by going to see it in-person before making a decision. I knew if you went to see it you'd be walking out with it on your wrist. Enjoy it in good health!

Congrats!

The ceramic daytona with the white dial is just perfection.

Yobber76 · 29 August 2018, 11:52 AM

I would go and try it on, you can always say no.

marcusp23 · 29 August 2018, 12:04 PM

Think about it this way. How often do you get to buy something that is worth 1.5 to 2 times what you literally just paid for it. Can’t pass that up, even if you intend to hold

sensui · 29 August 2018, 02:49 PM

Buy it and love it...you seem to have figured it out. Congrats.

Emreozcan · 29 August 2018, 06:24 PM

Was that even a question? Get the damn watch already.

Seibei · 29 August 2018, 06:29 PM

Great story with a happy ending. Congratulations. Enjoy it, wear it.

jonski · 29 August 2018, 08:22 PM

If U don't want it just say thanks you'll have the next piece and let the person after you enjoy it.

Good luck!

Daytona fever never ends

The thing is, my passion in watches has diminished in the last two years. I don't follow news, forums etc. I don't even know what Rolex released this year at Basel.

On the other hand, I know how special the 116500 is and perhaps it will rekindle some of that enthusiasm. Also if I say no and later change my mind, the waiting list is now 10 years!

So TRFers, what do you advise?

Edit: Buying in order to flip is not something I would consider. I don't want the hassle & risk of doing such a transaction with people I don't know. Please don't PM me asking to buy it from me.

Go get it and flip it
