talk about impulsive, I just bought it

[LuminousMaximus]

Congrat's Paul! Those are some seriously nice watches in your Sig...

[brandrea]

Congratulations, can't wait to see the pics

[GB-man]

You made the right call. Worst case flip flop.

[MTx2]

Fantastic pick up and awesome to have the watch with the card dated 2017 the year it was released. The white face is surprisingly my favorite in person after being drawn to the blue.

[Muzz]

nice move!!

Congrats! I found myself on the same side of the table on a BLNR a month in a half ago. Haven't worn it yet, and deciding what I will do with it. Yesterday, I casually stroll into the AD, and through casual conversation, find they have a TT SkyDweller with the Champagne dial come in the night before. I have sought this piece to see in person since Basel. Told the Salesman, I'd have to sleep on it... but the temptation was great to commit to a deal right there. I have the white Gold SkyDweller, and it is a keeper. Hope you enjoy it!

Congrats, great purchase, post lots of pics!

Oh boy, here goes, I got it and I do like it, but after talking to our good friend Chad (Chadridv), who really wanted it for his father, it was just dropped back into the mail to him.
Part 1 of it was honestly I didn't want to spend the money and part 2 is I might have a Daytona in the works, and I simply can't have everything.
I'm happy for Chad and his father.

great story.

[rmlovett1]

Very nice! Big congrats!

[bdex75]

Great pick up Paul!! I really hope you like it. I know you can sell it and likely get out what you paid but the feeling of not falling in love with such a large purchase is not a fun one to have!!

Paul, you’re the man!

My dad is super excited. Those who know me, know that I speak about him often. He’s been collecting for many decades. He hasn’t bought a new watch in more than 15 years though. This will be really special for him.

Will post pics once we get it on the old man’s wrist!

[G.D.BeanCounter]

All's well that ends well. Perfect sentiment during the holiday season!

[watchwatcher]

Cool...very nice gesture on your part, Paul.

[yannis]

Congrats Paul!

God bless you, sir. I hope you never forget how truly blessed you are.

congrats on the piece. just got my rose gold one this summer and LOVE it. the stainless is definitely cool, although i didnt show it much love in the beginning, it's slowly become one of my favorites!

[RichM]

Congrats Paul on a great pickup.

Well, we are on a Rolex forum....money is always relative. Some guys blow 14k gambling, drinking, etc. Some guys buy themselves a really nice watch that will last for years.
