It was good to get away to the high stuff once in a while for sure.

Got it - sorry ) - don’t think I could have stomached anything in the UK and definitely not Aus from what I have heard. Low stuff never appealed, even bridges only as much as they were useful for training. Brento was more my speed - would have loved to get over to Norway.

Sold my 16710 this week after wearing it for 7 years, with 75% profit. It was not my objective when I bought it, but now I can buy a 16713 root beer.
Nice.
Swapped my 16600 after 6 years for a 16613LN.

Buy a Rolex and wear it for free.
My wife is not even remotely bothered when I buy another Rolex.

Yeah and when one buys a vintage, often one has to spend hours trying to get it off.

This is quite funny, and if you make the distinction between love and lust, probably safe.
