Is it a sign? I guess I should go for it.

I have been wanting a Seadweller for awhile and finally decided on the 16600 due to the size of the deep sea. I saw that a local Rolex dealer had one in stock so I got in the truck to go see it. This is what I saw (crappy iphone pic).

It's a sign alright. But I couldn't afford the SD with your MPG.

Looks like a sign to me too.

Also it's been a while since I've seen a new 16600 in stock at an AD . . . my assumption would have been used only at this point . . . so that's another good reason to think about it.

Genrally I don't need no extra signs, but if you needed one I can't think of anything better. Best be getting down there and pick it up, I think someone up there is trying to tell you something.

Back to the topic of watches - you can't go wrong with your selections (watch, trusted seller, and timing). Good taste on all counts.

I don't normally believe in signs but I'll make an exception in your case because it sure seems like it.

Funny, I hopped into my turbo diesel Jetta the other day and noticed the odometer was sitting right at 14060. I did snap off a quick iPhone photo that I'll have to upload and share. It's funny as I have been considering either a 14060 or 5513 to go with my Sub-C.

If that isn't a sign I don't know what is! :-)

Great decision, I know you'll love it!

By the way, my Land Cruiser gets about the same gas milage...

11.6 means that you have to buy it by September 6th of this year, so you have some time to save. :)
