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.

tmg Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Very nice catch CC, the bezel tone is brilliant! Welcome to the snowflake club, wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
