halftime impulse buy

[cc33]

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.

Beautiful watch.Hard to beat those vintage Tudors. Prices have really gone up in the past few years, i wuish I had bought a drawer full of them 8-10 years ago!!

Wear it well.

Very nice catch CC, the bezel tone is brilliant! Welcome to the snowflake club, wear it well.

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.

That's a lovely example! Congrats on a great pick up!
