Nearly flipped today
Hi guys,

I nearly flipped the 116713 today for a Pam 233, but at the 11th hour did a u turn.

The wife isn't a fan of the gold but I just felt that I wouldn't wear the panerai 😞 I've had a few before and never seem to miss them when they're gone!

Possibly flip the 116713 for a rhodium 116622 at some point if the wife still dislikes the tt gmt.

One thing is for sure - I'm definitely a rolex guy

I think you made the right call not flipping for a pam. YM's are great option, they almost feel like PM's watches.

I nearly bought a Panerai early last year. So pleased I didn't.

Rolex all the way and it's the best way

I own it and love it! Awesome photo! Wearing black GV Milgauss right now that picture is making me miss my blue Yachty, it's been at home in the safe for a few weeks.

My favorite Yachtmaster. It's often overlooked but it's the dressiest sports Rolex imo. It just has this elegance and I love the slimmer lugs. Definitely a watch I would purchase in the future!

I just got a 116713 back in the fold and it won't be going. I have owned it before and its just a very smart watch. One of the best looking Rolex TT watches does IMHO.

The best, found myself on the verge of going for it several times
