Serial Flipper

Since 2014 I have become somewhat of a serial flipper! In my time I have had a SD4K, HULK, Milgauss, Datejust 36mm, 2 x ND Sub and 2x Blnr's! Its exhausting as all have been flipped for various reasons!

But its took this long journey to realise what the perfect, imo, one watch to rule them all is!

It has always been in the back of my mind through every trade or purchase and now I have finally settled for this perfection!

I can now sleep at night! This ones going to be a keeper to pass on to my young one once he helps me remove the stickers!

And I thought I was the only one lol!! My problem is I have taken quite a few baths. I am trying to ride out a RG YM right now but its tough and would be the biggest bath ever. And that one isn't even cold and I already want the SD43. Your new Sub is awesome looking. I think I need at least one of those in my collection of 3 :) There is something about its' simplicity yet rugged sportienss. Wear it in good health.

Good luck slowing down the flipping. I won't be surprised if we see an incoming.

I used to think so too...but lately I've been thinking of flipping the Sub Date for a GMT Master II for the more useful complication.
