It's 2015 but I still want it to be 2014!
Well what an end to 2014! I began the year Patekless and now I have 2 pieces in my vintage Rolex dominated collection! You might remember my post from August 2014 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=368474 I sort opinion on the 5960/1A and the 5170G, the latter eventually winning the day.
Well this forum certainly enables!, like Duncan (gunrnnr) it was killing me to see the influx of 5960/1A posts, a massaging of the finances this way and that, up and down and round and around, saw me give permission to Santa to do his best in seeking me out a watch. He delivered!, I'd obviously been a good lad! (though HUGE credit goes to my very understanding wife in letting me proceed and who tolerates my passion especially as I know the money I spend could be put to many other uses, especially needy family ones). I don't think I'll be able to emulate 2014 come this year but that won't stop me enjoying this great forum as much as have to date. My new acquisition, a still sealed 2014 PP 5960/1A to accompany my PP 5170G  Happy New Year all John |
