Need advice PLEEEEASE!!!!
Please help me
![]() OK, so here's the back story and my dilemma... My very first Rolex was a 14060 2 liner. It began a love affair with the brand and quickly spiraled out of control. After a few months of wearing the 14060 I quickly realized it was a bit too small for me. The Oyster bracelet was a pain for me as my wrists swell up quite frequently. As you all know the older bracelets do not allow for quick micro adjustments. It quickly became a nuisance for me. Not long after that I traded my 14060 for a 116610LN, BNIB. When I received the 116610LN I immediately fell in love with it. The ceramic bezel, glidelock clasp, yum. It had everything I wanted, or so I thought. After a couple of months I realized it was still too small for my wrist. You see, I have pretty big wrists, 7.5 inch, not huge, but not "normal" either. It just didn't feel right. So my sickness quickly took over and I reached out to DavidSW to get it swapped for a DSSD. Ohhh baby, the DSSD. When it arrived and I cracked open that box it was an "ahhhh" moment. Even my wife who was there when I cracked open the box said, "wow, that's nice". If my wife had commented I thought, "yeah, this is the one". Wrong again. I noticed that after a long days work I would come home and WANT to take my watch off because my wrists were hurting. It was too top heavy, an absolutely beautiful watch, but too top heavy for my liking. I said to myself, "you shouldn't WANT to take your watch off, you should want it to stay on at ALL times" right? I thought to myself, maybe you're not a "Rolex guy", whatever that means. So I contacted DavidSW yet AGAIN but this time went to the dark side. I had David find me a PAM 112. Bad idea. The watch was VERY nice, but the dial was a bit too plain for my liking, so I called David AGAIN and had him send over a PAM 111 thinking the seconds indicator would make it more "sporty" and more of an everyday watch. WRONG. At this point I missed my Rolex. Not any particular model, but the Rolex brand in general. They just felt more natural on my wrist. Not to take away anything from the Panerai brand, but they just weren't for me. Who you gonna call? DavidSW of course. At this point I thought David was certainly going to curse me out, LOL. But being the gentleman he is, he gracefully accepted to buy back the PAM111 for a 16613. YES, a TT 16613 with the beautiful blue/purple dial depending on lighting. So the 16613 is procured and sent to me. A beautiful example, minty Y serial with lug holes. I wear it for a week and realize I'm not a TT guy. UGH. I know, I'm being impossible. The 16613 is now back to David and he is looking for a GMT II Ceramic. I think the GMT II Ceramic may be the one for me. It's somewhere in size between a regular Sub and DSSD. It's SS with a bit of flare with the PCL's. I think it has everything I'm looking for. God I need help. Do you guys think it's the right decision? I know, I know, only I can make that decision, but I would really appreciate any help. God knows I need it. My wife is getting frustrated ![]() ![]() I think I'm going mad. |
