Limited Edition... Drool...
Saw this on IG the other day... A limited edition worth drooling for.

Thoughts on DSOTM as 3rd watch?
I have been considering picking one of these up to test out as there is one for sale in country at what seems to be a good price. I currently have a BLNR and D blue and am considering adding the hulk (116610lv) or a chronograph as a 3rd. The ceramic daytona will be a long wait list (over 1 yr). What do you think of the DSOTM as a tester? I enjoy its looks. What would you consider a good price where I would not loose much money if I decide its not for me? The example I am looking at is around $9000 Canadian dollars ($6800us).

5270 Collector's Response 2 Year's Later...
It's been two years since this newest Perp Calendar Chrono was introduced at BaselWorld. When I saw it, I loved it. IMO, simplistic yet bold, elegant with much less clutter than it's predecessor.However, I did not pull the trigger back in 2011. I have heard... way overpriced.. they didn't sell too many.. collector's would rather their 5970's.. etc etc. Two years later, does it still carry the same stigma? Prices have dropped significantly on them and I am wondering if it is the right time to pick one up? Looking forward to collector's thoughts.

Bought, didn't wear, and now sold the BLNR
I bought the BLNR less than two months ago, but it never really excited me like my 114060. It sat in my safe with all the stickers still attached. A friend of mine has been on his AD's list for one for almost a year, so I sold it to him for exactly what I paid. We are both happy and my Sub continues to be my only girl.

My College Graduation Present
...after 20 years! I guess it is never too late. I have had a couple of modern iterations of this iconic model (SUBC and LV); but the first one I ever saw in the metal, and that introduced me to the world of Rolex was the 16610, in the mid 90s. Well, as a college student I heard stories of kids getting their nice timepieces as graduation presents, and I couldn't help but to think that I might, just might, be one of those lucky ones; however, my parents are from a different train of thought; and I actually admire and respect that. They worked very hard, saved and accomplished all they ever dreamed for their family...so, the graduation date came, and as I was getting ready for the ceremony, both of them came into my room and handed me a little box. Inside there was a very discreet, yet elegant, gold chain, with a plaque. On the back of this plaque there was a writing that said A Day To Remember. Well, indeed it was! Completely forgot about that Rolex Sub that I was desperate to have.
