Single Outgoing - DOUBLE Incoming

Hey Folks,

If you happen to follow my last thread you'll know I sadly sent my beloved DD40 out for trade to bring some new life into my collection, specifically targeting watches that I feel will receive some increased wrist time and provide some additional versatility.

No need for the back stories, but will just say this isn't my first time around with a D-Blue, but last time i had to make a choice between the big fella vs my LVC and the d-blue lost. This time I'm adding to the group and feel (as I always have) that it will make a beautiful addition to my collection.

Here are the pics from this snow covered sunny day!! Enjoy.

Great choices Sir - I too had my on-off love affair with the D-Blue, but this time she is here to stay!!

Same on the AP - went back and forth on the 15400 blue and have decided it's also found a "forever-home" with me!!

Have to say the new AP RO chronos are quite nice....damn it!!

I like both of these so won't mourn the DD40 too much.

I totally understand your logic. Seems like you made a great decision. Neither of these watches look good on me, but I REALLY like them. They look great on you. Fantastic pics. Congrats!
