So long for now...
I never thought it would happen but yesterday I sold my last Rolex. I just don't have the same interest in the brand that I have had in the past. It's a combination of factors that started with me spending way too much time on TRF when I should be doing other things, to the awful sitaution last year with JJ that really put things into perspective for me, to a sick family member that has even further pushed me towards other priorities.
So for now I am cashed out and feel pretty good about it too. alot of good folks here. Thanks for the good advice and for providing your expertise over the years!

The great thing is, you can be back here whenever you feel it's right. No need to spend a dime or knock on a door.
Be well.

No reason why you still can't enjoy a nice Seiko or something? I know some people say Carpe Diem but I like this one better... "Tempest Fugit, Memento Mori" or "Time Flies, Remember Death" We aren't here forever...great job on your part in getting priorities right. Anyway good luck with the family and GO Yanks! Mickey I changed my profile pic....so I keep remembering too.
