You have some nice stuff there in your box. I’d sell this one in a heartbeat. Odd color scheme and anything two-tone is always weird to me.

Considering I have the GMT 2 tone which I love, I figured one two tone is enough as generally I wear them less in the rotation.

That was my thinking but...since I've had it so long, the condition is minty, and my gf has good instincts, not gonna let the 16613 go so fast.

It will come down to the bigger box most likely

Happy Birthday.

But I don't understand your math. If your 12 watch Box is full, put one on your wrist. Then get one to fill the hole.



Then, get a bigger box. Or another Box. And more watches.

Don't make the mistake of selling if you don't need the funds.

I too had this piece given to me by my GF (now wife) circa 2005. As my collection grew, I ended up wearing it mostly out of guilt in my rotation, then just stopped wearing it.
Kept it for sentimental reasons. The thought of trading crept in so one day I asked my wife what she thought and she said you never wear it so why don’t you trade it for something you will actually wear? So I did…the only sentimental watch I will never sell is the one my Dad gave me when I graduated from HS…

It's the second Rolex I bought back in 1999.

Since it's my birthday and when I was picking out my watch, I decided to wear it one more time..

It just doesn't get worn anymore.

and while i was out and saw it on my wrist...I asked my girlfriend, who is pragmatic and honest if I should sell it..to which she replied ...No way..

So yeah, she's right of course.

Carry on!



So why is your title the opposite?
