I recently posted about my quandary in terms of pulling the trigger on a rose gold olive dialled DD or not.

Well I did it. Here's a few very rough and ready snaps of the 1999 Submariner I traded against the DD, clearly the DD I'm getting, the Bluesy I got earlier in the year from the same AD lurking in the background and an amazing off catalogue piece a customer ordered. The RRP on that was double the DD

The quality of the gem setting is unreal.

I get the DD in a few weeks. It's half paid for with the 2nd half due when I leave the country to save the GST (duty free purchase). Can't wait. I tend to go to Singapore as it's such an epic country, and think I will do so again.

Its funny how tastes change. A few years ago I was stainless steel all day long. At that point I'd had a Submariner for 30 years.

I'd always kinda liked the Bluesy, but landed a Rootbeer GMT in 2021, a stainless slate YM in 2022 and the Bluesy in early 2023, plus a Datejust and a matching 37mm YM for my partner. Over this period I became more attracted to full PM and my partners Datejust saw me looking at those more and more too.

And here we are.

Looks great, you made the right choice and it certainly looks like you are living well!

That said I'm surprised the AD is letting people handle someone else's off catalog order...

I was quite suprised how chunkier the dj41 feels next to the dd40.

Andad · 31 July 2023, 05:49 PM

I like the grip on the champagne glasses.

Love the RG / olive combo on the DD. Congrats!

link517 · 31 July 2023, 10:22 PM

Does anyone else get annoyed that the AD shows off the off catalogue order for anyone to touch?

Very cool to see though, thanks for sharing!

I reckon most stuff gets well handled and shown off. It doesnt bother me to think multiple people are probably going to see and touchmy DD. I guess if it was marked id feel differently. Curious how others feel.

What about a leather strap? Sure metal is one thing…
