Seven
Watched the brilliant movie over the weekend again ...Got me thinking about the current Rolex market and how it differs from a few years ago .

Dante's seven sins :

Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Lust
Pride
Envy
Wrath

In the current Rolex market .. Greed,Lust,Pride,Envy ??

Get down to basics ...

Enjoy your Rolex,use it as intended,it will give you a lifetime of service and memories ..and be happy !!

Seven? I've only got five Rolex; need to step up my game. Yes, for me it's a distraction and really not much more!!! I must say as I approach retirement I'm not so easy to part with my funds!!! Call it greed or practicality; your call!!!

I have much more than SEVEN ..I am a sinner .I need help .My wife's head is in trouble ..

Its a good distraction and talking about retirement and parting with funds,its not like they will lose value is it ?So,its actually a good distraction..and food for the soul.

I pulled the "R" trigger in April, which accounts for my current "work" at sloth. I'm still practicing, but hope to get this right someday. I'm not in a hurry (I think).

It's not so much what's in the box, but rather is the box a full set age appropriate to the watch in question.

But very similar, that scene is this is how Rolex watches are delivered. Down to the exact time, location and date for signature delivery.
