cheers silly

I was after a Daytona, but this one was for sale in an official dealers and I thought "sod it, why not" so bought it

I'll probably never get the Daytona now, but that's life i guess.... All i need to do i sell my navitimer World now. I suppose i'll have to stick it on e-bay. I've had an offer of £1,200 for it from Watches.co.uk so I'll try e-bay to see if i can get any more for the navitimer before i sell it to the dealers. Here's to a thousand scammer e-mails about to arrive shoot

Mate that's lovely. A Daytona's on my wish list but it'll have to wait a while! Beautiful watch indeed, wear it in good health.

Good choice.

By coincidence, I bought one exactly the same yesterday except 7 years old - mint condition from Second Time Round near Bond Street Tube Station.

Good choice- was it new or second hand?

I usually buy second hand from http://www.theoldwatchshop.co.uk/

I have a Sea Dweller, Heuer Carrera (leather strap), Omega (1942 military) with leather strap - bought from above and a CWC military with military strap (1977) and a Hamilton military (1974) . Admittedly the last two are not the most expensive that you can buy but the collection has to start somewhere doesn’t it.

Also the Mrs has a 1930’s Rolex rose gold dress watch which was bought from the above shop – not that expensive compared to the stainless steel sports watches.

If anyone is interested in Rolex watches they should buy the following book.

‘Vintage Rolex sports watches’ by Martin Skeet and Nick Urul

Not an official Rolex book but enough to make anyone interested in watches go weak at the knees – now where did I but that lottery ticket. What with cars and watches how much would I need to win - a mega Euromillions rollover at least?

Had mine for 2 years and love it. Dont wear it all the time due to the usual 'thats a good fake' comments so usually wear my Chopard GT XL LE.

i wouldn't worry about the comments of others - just wear the watch you want.

if they say - nice fake mate - say, yeah, it's not bad and smile smile

life's too short to be lived according to the comments of others wink
