I think you did the right thing, Mik. You gave it time and made sure you were ready to part with it.

Now you can enjoy the 'hunt' again for the next piece that you will enjoy wearing more!

I flipped this 16710 z series black bezel - for this 16750 8.6 mil pepsi. I really liked the 16710 and I REALLY like the 16750. Maybe my next step is to flip the 16750 for a 1675.

i never thought iwould say it but im a flipper! Recently sold my pam 88 and Sinn as well. My deepsea will be on the block as soon as it comes back from the rsc spa.

Heck i even took a iwc pilots chrono 3717 that i will flip soon too. I have infected a small handlful of guys at work too. The best line was hey do u know there are forums where watch guys meet? ummm......yes

Looking to go in a different direction with my collection. Iwc Big Pilot, Iwc Port. Auto and a Pam 351 mmm gold hands.

Hamilton, huh? Good watch. The american movement that is so pretty, I've considered mounting it backwards in a case.



Dial is nice too.

about to write the similar but Karis said it better Older GMTII with holes and SEL's would add a variety to your collection and fill that GMT gap
