I thought I'd never do it, but alas it is gone..........

I actually have a sense of guilt for selling it!

My only consolation is that they guy that bought it sits two seats away from me at work and is a notorious flipper. Maybe I'll buy it back from him in a year!

Please post some pics of the 2c in his honor.

Pretty good price actually. I was at the point where I was just going to keep it and look at it in the closet. I had it polished professional back to mint by a Rolex Authorized repairer. I didn't want to wear it. I was about ready to have it completely brushed (matte) to wear it, but my friend at work said he wanted it. I didn't believe him and blew him off, but he wouldn't leave me alone....so he bought it.

Too many with nothing definite. Some things I can't even afford.

Short list...
BP FF, AP Diver, IWC Port manual, TBD.....I'm in no rush, I want to find something that excites me again.

My IIC excites me every time I put it on. In fact, I hate taking it off at night and some nights, I don't! You r going to miss it.

I hope you are wrong. I haven't worn it in over 4 months just to be sure, but you never know. Oh well, we'll see.

jmsrolls · 5 March 2011, 12:12 PM

I was afraid to wear my IIc because of the ceramic bezel so I flipped it.

Now I have this one and I'm a happy camper:

I'll be even happier when his cousin arrives in a week or so.

That is a great one Father John.

It is kind of on my list as well. A nice early model 16710 with SEL's and lug holes.

Also forgot to mention, considering a PAM 268 and 190.

The secret to flipping is replacing with something even more special

Reading this makes me feel a lot better--I have flipped 4 Subs (2 dates and 2 non-dates). I want a no-date again, but now that I'm back in grad school, I don't have the funds.
