Incomming!!! 16613 is gone, replaced by...

[nch209]

I am somewhat of a flipper, and have had several 16613's (tt non ceramic subs) come and go- I would stumble onto one, and then someone would be looking for one, and I would sell it. Catch and release, if you will!

I have always been madly in love with the 116718 (gold GMT ceramic), but just dont know if I am at the point where I would actually wear that watch, or just stare at it. I knew that out of my current collection, the 16613 would be on the chopping block if I needed to raise funds for somthing new.

While prusing TRF I found a comparason of the 16613 vs 116613 (Ceramic TT sub), and felt it would be the obvious watch to try next. (Frankly I take issue with that poster for ultimately costing me loot, or at least in my mind he did so by posting such great pics!!!) I was in no rush, however, I did mention to a big reseller (who had just purchased from me) that I might be interested in a 116613- and lone behold, in a matter of moments, my 16613 was traded, a wire was sent, and my ceramic two tone should be here tommorow!

Honestly, I do not know how I will react to the 116613. The blue is off a tad IMO, and the lugs are, well.... large. (I have a 116610, and while the same size, I think the TT wears bigger). On the flip side, the maxi dial, updated clasp and bracelet won me over... well, the REASONABLE money difference won me over... no haggeling, no nonsense, just a quick deal!

Whats the worst that can happen, I dont like it and am forced to go after the 116718 a bit sooner than planned? LOL!

I'll post pics when she arrives!
