Thank you. The idea of letting a 50th anniversary piece go does bother me and is certainly something I wish I could avoid, but at some point it’s a trade off and I have to choose what matters more; the opportunity to own a 26240OR, or the exact same watch in steel, that was made the year before. I was not really focused on resale, but if I was, the 50th anniversary doesn’t make a big difference over a non anniversary piece. While owning an anniversary piece like this is great, it looks exactly the same as one that isn’t, and for me I am more interested in the look and feel of the OR over the ST than the unique rotor which I rarely see.
Others may have chosen differently. I’m sure some think I should have passed on the OR and simply waited and only done it when I could add a a new piece but I know how long that might have taken, if at all, so I chose differently.
