Hi guys,

Looks like I'm a 2-Rolex guy once more..............here's the story.

Sub-date 16610 V-series purchased April this year sold at cost to a very near and dear family member.

Exp-II white dial sold on our local auction site TRADE ME.

TT GMT-IIC sold on TRADE ME as well.

Which leaves me with the 3-year old SS/Pt. YM and the new Sub-C.

dddrees · 29 December 2010, 06:12 AM

Both awesome watches, anyone would be happy to be able to have just one of these let alone both.

Hope your doing and feeling better JJ.

JBat · 29 December 2010, 06:12 AM

Why the decision to sell the other two, JJ? It seemed like you really loved both of them.

Yes, I did, John....................but given my current health situation, I felt cash in the bank made more sense. I didn't lose on either of the watches.

The YM is one watch my wife won't let me sell ever!!

Good deal JJ that you didn't lose out on much, from your advice many moons ago I purchased the 116713, anyway thanks for your advice and speedy recovery!

Submariner G · 29 December 2010, 06:33 AM

JJ,

All the best with your health, what fantastic watches you are holding on too.

Thanks, buddy. In my present health situation, I feel 2 Rolexes are more than enough!!

Still awaiting my last week's test results.

So sad JJ to hear about your health, wish you the best to come back soon

Jason71 · 29 December 2010, 06:34 AM

At the end of the day, they are just watches. Your health/happiness are what is most important. Both of those models can reacquired with little to no difficulty once you beat this.

Good for you JJ. For you to be able to break-even with such recent models speaks volumes for owning a Rolex

That's about as good a reason as one could have. Like Jason said, they are just watches. Great news that you made your money back. Speaks well to the value of a Rolex.

Frankie13 · 29 December 2010, 06:36 AM

You still got two JJ and I wish you all the best!

bayerische · 29 December 2010, 06:42 AM

Hope you get well soon JJ!!!

Awesome pair you still got.

Badfish179 · 29 December 2010, 06:45 AM

Wow JJ, I feel better. As of today I'm a 2 Rolex guy too! I am proud to be in your company. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jocke · 29 December 2010, 06:46 AM

It's better you trim your armhair Flipper.

Nice choice on the keepers JJ. They compliment each other well. Good to see the Platy still holds some magic for you.

Roxas · 29 December 2010, 07:00 AM

Both look stunning. Thanks for sharing. May I know why did you sell the Sub Date and purchase the new Sub C?

I hope you will be feeling better.

Like I said, a very near and dear family member fell in love with the 16610 and insisted on buying it. I thought what the heck and gave it to him at cost - no profit, no loss - and then ordered the new Sub-C.

So basically, I sold off 3 Rolexes and bought the new Sub-C..............certainly helped with some savings.

I just pray and hope my health improves.

kcmo · 29 December 2010, 07:09 AM

You still have a great pair of watches, JJ

I recently 'down-sized' to two myself and for me, less is definitely more!!

I'm sure your rest results will be OK!

Thanks, Karis. I see you got rid of your Sub-date. Well, as long as you're happy with the 2 you have right now, that's fine.

A very happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
