I was right, my LV spoiled the Rolex experience

Once I wrote here in the forum that the LV was in my opinion the best balanced Rolex ever made for men. The LV is very masculine, modern and beautiful. I wanted to buy a TT GMT II C I had tried in the past and which I loved. I visited the 4 Ultra Jewels there. All of them had the TT GMT II C at retail minus 10 % off and not tax. I tried the watch several times, but it did never smiled at me as it did in the past. The LV experience has been so wonderful that all the models displayed at Ultra Jewels did not smile at me. I love so much the LV looks, it might be my only watch for many years to come. Here is a good news for some one, Ultra Jewels at plaza Las Americas will have a green glass Milgaus today Saturday. One of the clerks offered to me but I will pass. You can have the watch with 10% down payment and 3 moths to pay. The girl who offered me the watch said that she will do her best to sell it to me since those watches are sold only if you buy another Rolex from them. I said no, but I asked her to call me so I can see the watch in person. I have not received the call yet and I am in Merida by now. If you are around the area, you might want to try to get it.

Once you've had a Submariner, nothing else will do.

Pretty much in most cases, although i'm holding off the Submariner until the 904L model has full updates like the GMT IIc. Yesterday I called the AD in Toronto and it is not happening to that one for a little longer apparently. The LV is awesome, there is a picture of one as my Desktop on my laptop, love it.

Julio, I know what you mean.

I don't know if it should be called LV fever, LV love, or what have you. I just know I've got it bad.

I wear my Orient knock offs when doing yard work and shooting and can't wait to get the LV back on.

I don't think there is a cure, so we will just have to live with it.

Well Julio I would say that I wear my LV .........

Well Julio I would say that I wear my LV more than the others, but your other choice is also one of my favorites.

Glad you enjoy your LV. It would make a great companion to my Sea Dweller
