Truly incoming

This is truly an incoming thread with no pics yet. Call me crazy but I just swapped my BLNR for what to me has been my grail...white face Daytona (non C). Love the BLNR but with others in the collection I had the opportunity to flip it, so I did. Hope I don't regret the move. This has been my grail for years and years so expectations are REALLY high.

If it's your grail piece, then enjoy it and wear in good health. You can always pick up a another BLNR down the road. Congrats. Glad you were able to get the timepiece you've been wanting for.
