cc33 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well I did it again, made another impulse purchase, just couldn't pass up on this beauty. I made an offer, and figured if its meant to be then its meant to be.. I didn't want to offer full price. Just got the ok, he accepted! It's an early 7016/0 flake with what I think is amazing patina. I'll be getting it next week. From a very friendly member on net54. Its my first gen purchase in years. I haven't seen any value in buying new rolexes anymore the way I used to, I'm really addicted to vintage Rolex now but was planning to go the Franken route with all of the ones I will want, but for the price the gen in this case makes sense for me.

Mapman57 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Welcome on board - great pick up Its crazy that I wear my Gen Flake for most jobs around the house and yard - when I have modded reps in the drawer, at below 20% of the value. They are just made to be worn and aged! Nice patina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
