One in :) one out :(

Today my snowflake sub arrived. I also got a call from RSC telling me that my 1680 is ready, back from a full service (without replacing dial/hands etc). It has been serviced, the crown replace with a correct nos, as well as the crystal and I got a one year warranty on it.

The sad part is some expenses came up and I have to sell one of the two. I love them both and would probably buy again in the future. I can't decide which one to let go. I'm leaning towards selling the snowflake because I already have a buyer and if I keep it I would need to check it out and maybe service it, as the previous seller doesn't know about the service history.

The Rolex is more versatile I think and it's just been serviced, water resistant and all. And I even have a one year warranty for it. It's just the Snowflake is so darn fun and so relaxing to look at!






What do you guys think?

Double decker sub :)

Nice! I'm also aiming to eventually get a Snowflake. My '67 5513 should be on the way next week :)

Keep the sub! It is freshly serviced and you already have a buyer for the flake. Sorry you have to sell one, Goodluck

Any details about the Snowflake (in case your current deal falls through)?

easy come easy go it'd be a no brainer for me i'd say bye bye to the snowflake and not worry about it. I think the snowflake will appreciate quicker, but with all the money you just put into the sub, I think it's worth keeping.

If you need to sell one, sell the snowflake. These are desirable right now.

I fully agree, if one has to go, this would be my choice.

I understand your choice, but a snowflake like that might be harder to source than a white 1680.
