I am so ashamed.

First off I have to say that Molex is a big ugly a$$, I hate your guts and hope you don't sleep well after hearing what you have done to me.

I placed an order for another Rolex and my AD says that they have a couple of ppl waiting for it but I should see it in 3-4 weeks. I am sure you guys know which model I am getting. I am also getting a rather large discount on it since in the last 4 months this AD has me to thank for about 7 or 8 Rolex sales including my own GMT2 plus 2 TT Daytonas and a YG DD (yes they make money because of me and my friends).


Well I guess I will be posting pics again in about a month. Also since I feel so guilty about yet another Rolex purchase this year I think it is best I get rid of some of my other watches of other makes that I dont wear as often. My Omega SMP and GP 7000GMB Chrono will be going shortly. I know this is a pathetic attempt to make me feel better but hey at least it will cover the sting my wallet has been getting this year.

JJ, those aren't your watches, they are the voices inside your bald head mate. Take the meds and they will start to subside.

I'm...?glad?... I was able to help motivate you to buy this watch, I *guarantee* you won't be sorry!

I'll tell you what, I'll keep mine off my wrist until you anounce yours and we'll both wear the greatest watch in the world in celebration! Deal?

P.S. If you can get the holo off inact, you can mail it to me for autographing purposes... or just send the whole watch, I promise to be nice to it! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Nice pic, Micah. The only problem is that in that light, the dial takes on a bluish cast, which makes it look a bit too much like a Kiwi special.

Thanks man. I will be selling some less worn pieces to cover the costs of it. It just makes sense to do so.

Its funny my buddy that bought one of the TT Daytonas and the DD (for his dad) is pissed after I told him the discount I am getting on a SS model compared to what he got on his gold Rolexes

I'd like to see a display-back Rolex Submariner with a Tourbillon, split-seconds chrono, minute repeater and power-reserve, with moon-phase and sidereal time on the back, all available with minimum 5 different dial colors and 3 sizes.

Not.

Not.

That thread really bummed me out. All I was trying to say was that I appreciate Rolex for sticking to the basics, but the local holier-than-thou crew had to chime in as usual, and by the time it was "over" I regretted making the original post at all, let alone being involved in the melee that ensued. My favourite bit was being repeatedly accused of being a Rolex "cheerleader". Hello? I love Rolex watches, what the F*** DO YOU EXPECT ON A ROLEX FORUM???? Arggh, I'm getting worked up again.

Anyways, I forgot to say: CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't wait to see your first pics!
Uh, Micah, are we on the same thread here? I looked high and low but couldn't find any "local holier-than-thou crew." Am I missing something? Ah, you must be talking about a thread on "that other place," correct?

If you've ever read the Harry Potter series, it's analagous to "He Who Must Not Be Named."

Clifton,

I normally dish out 50 push-ups; but since you're new here, you can give me 25 for that spelling of "probably". LOL!!
