I just flipped off a black Eii last week to a blog reader. If you were happy with the Omega SM for such a long while, chances are you are going to keep the Rolex for a long period of time too and not flip it. For keeper watches, I would advise to go the new route for peace of mind. And de-stickering new Rolexes is something fun to do, to me at least. I don't think Eii goes at a premium these days and it is definitely possible to get a discount for it. If you are interested, I could dou a PM on the ADs that I used, as well as grey resellers here whom have ways of getting you a decent deal. Cheers.
