Just Lost $3000 Of Profit, And Frankly...

Just lost $3000 of profit, and frankly i don't give a damn!

A couple of days back the below arrived from Mayors Tampa (thx Nick), yet they had to mail it to me as, like many ADs, their store is closed. Been too busy to resize her until today as had to get out an online magazine. Using the proper Rolex tool of course, so no scratches and no bow-tie screw head! Simply heat up the area a tad bit and off ya go with the proper Rolex screwdriver

So..... FINALLY today i had time to take out a couple of links at the 6 o'clock side (keeping Easylink closed) and she fits great! Wear 'em and enjoy your time.

It's a bit snarky... because it is worth more to greys if i never resized the bracelet and never wear the timepiece. Forget that, she's a keeper and i wear 'em like beaters

PS: For my eyes, the white dial is the only one i can see well, except for the Everose with cream dial which also rocks!

I’m guessing because it went from unworn you “like new” condition from a resale point of view.

Nice watch!

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. It’s tops on my list of must haves and I wouldn’t sell it either. Congrats again.

Looks great !

Couldn’t see the appeal in buying a watch just to resell either

WTF? To be fair I don't do cards either...…. should I be ashamed? :(

I do send holiday bonus $$$ of course, that's what I do cuz they are sooo awesome. Hope that makes up for the no card thing. Hmmm, maybe I should do cards next year too.

Congrats again Steven. Rachel is a beauty. That clickbait title though LOL

On that title... The C24 ‘watch collection’ is an interesting study, I believe a strong correlation to the movement of the stock markets. Seeing so much talk here of watch values, I set it up and I think the values on the watches are laughable, they’re trailing reality by at least 3 weeks
