Rolex Hulk for a Navitimer 01 46mm Rose Gold
Hi All,
I've recently left Rolex for which I had a Deepsea, then a Sub Hulk 2013 which I have now traded against a UB012721 Rose Gold Navitimer 46mm on Croc brown strap New! Straight swap! I couldn't resist the Navi, it's always had a draw on me since my friend got one, it's a absolute beaut! Have I made a wise decision? |

Wise? Is there wisdom anywhere in this passion of ours?
If you ended up with the watch that you like more then you dd the right thing. |

If asked over on the Rolex general discussion, most would probably tell you that you have made a mistake, as the Hulk is in such high demand and is essentially appreciating in value as a result. However, if the navitimer speaks to you more, then that's irrelevant. It's a classic watch in its own right, and if it speaks more to you, then you made the right choice. Congrats on your decision.

To answer your question i say no. But if there was a common conception about right or wrong then there would only be a handful of watches around. What you got is a beautiful watch so enjoy it man.

I have the SS Navitimer World and love it. Be careful if you sent it to Breitling USA for service. They have a tendency to scratch the case and bracelet and then deny it.

I sent numerous of my and my wife’s watches to Breitling over the years. The sloppiness downturn happened around 2015/2016 - possibly old generation of watchmakers left and new staff does not care. Breitling in CT used to be better than the one in Switzerland... I got really upset when I sent my Emergency II for routine battery replacement under warranty and came back badly scratched up. Offered me free polish, but I declined.
