Air / Land / Sea complete
Well, I finally did it and with a lot of help. Today was the last step. I completed my Journey to Batman, so to speak. My Air / Land / Sea collection below. 3 countries ... all from ADs ... none made with any prior purchases at the AD, so it took some level of patience for this last piece.



I'm pretty happy at this point. Each of the cities where I purchased the watches has a different, but significant meaning to my wife and I. All purchases made in the past 4 years ... the final one was this morning.



1. 126710 GMT 2 BLNR on Oyster bracelet (Air)

2. 116500 LN White dial ceramic Daytona (Land)

3. 126622 Yachtmaster 1 Blue dial (Sea)



When I get back home, I will post a picture of all three. A modest stainless steel collection, but one I gave thought to and, in the end, represents my favorite model across each of the three categories.

Congrats on completing the trio. Would definitely love to hear the story behind obtaining the SS Daytona without any purchase history.

Great story, love to hear the rest of the back story on the three different city’s. Good to see the YM on the list, it’s a significantly under appreciated watch in the line. Congratulations!

Thank you. A week after I received the LV (December 2021), my AD called me to say Rolex sent them a few Rolex gifts for Christmas and he set aside one of them for me.
