You could have that 10k sitting in a bank account on top of the savings you already have, giving you nothing, or you could have a great watch lasting a lifetime. That first Rolex is special.

This is what I think about now. I think about why I actually bought it and spent the $ in the first place. I have worn it every day and night since I started this thread. I can't stop staring at it everyday. I put it on a couple of brand new single pass Nato's and man is it a great watch. My initial reaction was definitely $ based.
I'm glad ya'll talked me out of flipping it off the bat. I haven't thought about reaching for the Pelagos in days. I think I would have regretted selling it. At this point I don't care if I bought at the peak of the market. This is one that will be with me for the next 40+ years.
