Well I'm afraid the time has come to purchase my final Rolex, one that will remain on my wrist for the long haul
I've been told by wife and daughters that I spend to much time on the forums and watch sites so as per their wishes I will now buy the favorite of all the Rolex I have bought and sold over the years.
Here is a list of what has come and gone

GMT Coke D serial
Sub ND 2 liner F serial
GMT Ceramic Z serial
Sub Date D serial
GMT Pepsi L serial
GMT Coke D serial
Sub ND 2 liner D serial
Daytona white dial V serial
Yachtmaster SS Platinum F serial
Sub date Ceramic G serial
Milgauss Z Blue GV Random serial

After careful consideration I have to say that the one that I just can't get out of my head is the Yachtmaster Platinum
I loved that watch before I bought my first Rolex and I love it now.

I have secured a mint condition G serial purchased new in 2011 and worn only on formal occasions
It's a complete package and with the exception of putting an Easylink clasp and red date wheel on it, it's everything I want in a watch and more.

Thanks for the years of enabling my addiction but it's time to move onto other things
1500 posts and it's been a blast

I will pop in on occasion to see what's what but my buying days are over...........

Happy wife, happy life.

You're always welcome back, bud.

HogwldFLTR · 28 June 2015, 07:31 PM

You'll be back; it's in your blood and there's no escaping this madness. But if not have fun pursuing other interests.

soho · 28 June 2015, 07:59 PM

I expected to see a Fat Lady GMT. But enjoy that YM and the sabbatical from the madness.

Congrats! Enjoy spending more time with your family!

Racerdj · 28 June 2015, 09:49 PM

Congratulations! We'll see you later for sure!

Congrats!

cop414 · 28 June 2015, 10:21 PM

Best of luck with that decision, but I bet your cure won't last forever!

Invictus Maneo · 28 June 2015, 10:30 PM

Congratulations!?! I hope you come back, at least occasionally! I've tried several times to tone down my activity here. Just doesn't work for more than a week or two. TRF just keeps drawing me back and I love it! I don't let it distract me to the point where people I care about are complaining about the time I spend here though. It's all about balance and this is a special place where I enjoy spending time here!

That's what they all say.

Well Jeff, you've got to do what you've got to do.

azguy · 29 June 2015, 12:05 AM

Yeah, right.....

SemperFi · 29 June 2015, 12:10 AM

Congrats to you!

zapokee · 29 June 2015, 01:01 AM

You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

Roller07 · 29 June 2015, 01:07 AM

I was expecting to see a 16760.

You will be back.

Matt748 · 29 June 2015, 01:31 AM

I envy your ability to own one Rolex.
I am unable to do it myself, although I aspire to do so one day and keep my missus happy in one go.

GerardoG · 29 June 2015, 01:57 AM

Enjoy life

watchwatcher · 29 June 2015, 01:57 AM

Sounds like you've thought it through very carefully...so good luck and don't stay away too long.

Rashid.bk · 29 June 2015, 02:35 AM

I'm purty sure your wifey won't like to be called the title of this thread lol.

Nonetheless, congrats.

strafer_kid · 29 June 2015, 03:10 AM

Will probably try to get down to one some day but not sure just when - pretty addictive!

RazorD · 29 June 2015, 03:14 AM

Congrats and best of luck. By the title, I figured it was going to be a 16760.

OmegaJJH · 29 June 2015, 03:52 AM

This place is pretty addictive but family comes first. Hats off to you

See you soon bud !

Cru Jones · 29 June 2015, 03:57 AM

Seems like you also really like GMTs? If you're going to slow down, at least pair up that YM with one. Then you'll be done. Honest.
