Incoming with a story
About 12 years ago a friend of mine asked me to find him a Rolex. DavidSW had an M Serial 16610LV that I purchased for him. It was A$6000.00 at the time. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago he rings me and asked if I want to buy it as he hasn't worn it ???? He reckons he has worn it for a couple of hours total. We came to agreement on price and I picked it up today, Full set and like new save a minor scratch on the clasp. the bracelet is as tight as new. So excited I had to share

Congrats Peter! Good karma!
You been here long enough to know you can’t get away with a single wrist shot! You have one of the best modern references there...wear it in good health. |

Just circling back to this Peter ... I’m always curious about folks like your friend. Do you know why he didn’t wear it? Just not his cup of tea?
