Ceramic LV is BACK! ..."Newer" 116610LV

Well guys, I don't know what I was thinking but about 2 weeks ago I somehow thought it would be ok to sell my LVC.
I don't have a reason why other than temporary insanity..
I've loved this watch as much as anyone since I first saw it.
So I sell it and the very next day I'm miserable and feeling the void of not having the green on my wrist. None of my other watches were doing the trick for me.
I immediately contact DavidSW and a short time later have a BNIB 116610LV in my hands. Well, mine was over a year old so I guess I get a fresh start with this one.
All is right with the world again.
I know I'll never do that again...Definately my favorite watch of all.

Did you lose any money in the selling and buying?

I got a very good price when I bought over a year ago. I think at the time retail was $7,750 and I paid 7k.

Excellent! I got my LV from DavidSW as well and I would say it's been about a year now. Glad to hear you got it back.

I'm glad you've come back to reality. I love the LVC and I can't wait to see some new wrist pics.

Congrats on having the LVC back in the fold.

Just curious, what made you decide to see in the first place.

My favorite part is when you said I know I will never do that again. Us earthlings are creatures of habits so the Vegas line is 3 to 1 against you.

We all do silly things from time to time,i know i did in 1994. In 1985 i bought a Rootbeer on Jubilee,decided to sell in '94 and advertised it for £875.No takers,so dropped the price to £850,hardley any takers but sold it for £830 after weeks and weeks. What did i get rid f it for,i dont know. Imagine what i could have got for it today !
