Close to declaring: 116618 Incoming!

Hey, guys (enablers).

Am I the only one who has noticed how many of us on here have stepped up to the plate recently and acquired either a 116618 or 116619.

All of a sudden, everyone apparently has the gold bug and a lot of disposable income.

Anyway, I'm about to trade my TT subc 116613, a deep sea (I know that it is cool watch) and some $$$ for a grail--a YG subc 116618.

Anyone able to talk me out of it??

Dont do it! You will enjoy it to much and everyone will be envious! You will love looking down at a very special watch.

I'm not sure if I'm any help...

Why would we talk you out of it. If you made up your mind, then just do it.

Can't wait to see the incoming. A shot to tide you over.

Also and I know that it is sac religious to say this on here, but I also really like my Apple Watch and it gets a lot of wrist time too. It just does so darn much. Damn you, Apple

No, are you anxiously waiting for someone to talk you out of it?

Seriously, buy it or don´t buy it. But starting a new thread with the same topic every few months won´t help.

Do it!I did two weeks ago and have lost all cravings for anything else.This watch is the bizz.Incidentally I got the older blue version with the intention of changing to the diamond dial,the same as your TT,when it goes in for a service.

Didn't you have a sunburst 116613 LB before? The dial on the 116618 LB is the same.
