It's 2015 but I still want it to be 2014!
Well what an end to 2014! I began the year Patekless and now I have 2 pieces in my vintage Rolex dominated collection! You might remember my post from August 2014 .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=368474 I sort opinion on the 5960/1A and the 5170G, the latter eventually winning the day.Well this forum certainly enables!, like Duncan (gunrnnr) it was killing me to see the influx of 5960/1A posts, a massaging of the finances this way and that, up and down and round and around, saw me give permission to Santa to do his best in seeking me out a watch.

She immediately made her way over to the case as it couldn't have been anymore clearer than the ROLEX advertising on the glass cases and on front of the cases.She asked Could I get you and your Daughter a Bottle of water while you browse?.What I saw I couldn't believe.
