I have made up my mind

Now that I have the Omega and Rado's that I want, it is time to move on to Rolex. This next Rolex is the one that I want. I will save for this and in 2 or 3 years I will own this baby. I want THIS exact Rolex. I love it! If anyone has one close to this please dont hesitate to post pics. I do not know the exact SKU number for this one but this is the exact one I want.

Beautiful watch, but 2 - 3 years?! Do what the rest of us do, sell all your assets and buy it...

The choices of options makes it distinctive, different yet easily recognizable as a Rolex. Thats what makes this brand the brand.
Given the time I'll take are you concerned you may find another model you'll like and be presented with a conondrum? I ask bc it happened to me, I came here looking for info on replacing a lost Sub, now Im looking at GMTs and ExpIIs!
Be careful you may alo get infected.

Why not just sell the omegas and rados and get the Rolex now? You know they are losing value every second, so might as well get rid of them

You might be patient but at the rate rolex is increasing there pricing you might be saving for 5-6 years instead of 2-3..
Some dealers offer 0% financing that is what I did for my first (116200) and While paying it off I was saving so I am making my last payment next month and will have enough to buy my 2nd Rolex in about a week or two .. (116610)

I promised my wife that my 1st would be my ONLY rolex..boy was I wrong!!

It is a handsome watch, I have a feeling you will be buying it sooner rather than later especially if you hang out here.
