Officially Gone off the Deep End - Another PM Incoming

Well I picked up the 118238 DD a week ago and as most of you know the hunt for the next one was already on. This happened a lot sooner than I anticipated (like years lol) but decided why the hell not I only turn 30 once. Should have it later this week but was too excited and wanted to make a thread holding a spot for the arrival. I really need to get off this forum before I go BK. I'll let you all guess before I'm able to take official pics...

Hope it's a blue sub.

Congratulations in advance. Can't wait to see what it will be!!! Really, holding a spot? We're not running out of band width are we? Seems a bit like premature threadization. Guess is PM SkyD!!!

You might be onto something there...

But I'm probably the only person on the boards who prefers the black dial YG sub to the blue

Until I have mine in my possession here’s me trying one on at an AD 3-4 months ago. Same configuration I’m getting but mine will be coming from the TRF classifieds :)

Congrats! The 18k Daytona is a rarely seen watch outside an AD. The heft is impressive.

It’s hard to resist the siren call of PM. I know I’ve failed miserably.

Also need to give a special shoutout to SohAis on these boards. Super painless transaction and a standup seller. Will definitely buy from him again!

That Paul Newman combo on all gold looks amazing. Congrats.
Hopefully my next Rolex is a pre-loved gold Daytona on a leather band (to save some $$$)

The warmth and allure of YG is simply the best. I love mine and was close to choosing 116528 as well. A beaut and enjoy!

My YG says hello
