Rolex, Breitling, or Tag

I was having a record year in sales and knew I better get it or never would. Redoing the kitchen in granite and getting the Rolex were on my bucket list and I did both, although there were more prudent things to do with my extra money.

Says a lot about my feelings for this community when I ppalled a couple grand for something I never saw to someone I never met. Ended up working out perfectly and came as described with papers, hangtags, boxes and everything else to make it nearly new.

It was just enough understated and sized to be a perfect watch for me.

I never felt the need to brag or wear fancy jewelry, but in my narrow mind, there is something about a Rolex that is up there with something about a Harley Davidson that can't be explained to those who don't own one. Maybe not the best if you break down all the parts, but no substitute if you are one who seeks either and "gets it". If not, perfect fuel for an argument.

If you should own one, you'll know it I believe, and will find a way to.

That probably sounds really stuck up or stupid, but whattaya gonna do?

Well Pete, it does say a lot to trust someone you never met with so much money. If anyone was worth trusting, Robert was. Wonder what became of him as haven't seen him around again. Glad my two cents on that deal didn't steer you wrong.

I do trusted Robert and was rewarded with my TAG.

Yep, I remember when that deal went down. And as I recall, you stole that thing. Glad you seem to be as happy with it today as you did then.

When I finally found the one that sung to me it took me a couple years to raise the cash and find the watch. In that time frame the price went up almost 2 G's. Isn't that what credit cards are supposed to be for? Dummy.

Not that I would get rid of my Rolex, but I have been offered more than I paid for it on a trade in and briefly considered doing so at the Rolex store in Aruba for a two tone datejust.

I had a couple grand burning a hole in my pocket and it was the Rolex or an Aristocrat humidor. Carlos talked me into the Rolex. Robert wasn't wearing it much and we worked out a very good deal.

On a sad off topic note, a buddy at work has been having some problems, and his Submariner just "disappeared" and he claimed the insurance and blew the money. Doubt he'll ever get another one and his story is very sad and is about to involve a BMW next.
