Incoming….......An Unexpected Surprise and An Amazing Way to End the Year!
As some of you know, I received a call late last Friday about the arrival of my Submariner Date 116618 LB. Due to prior commitments, I was unable to collect this reference until today. Not a bad wait considering the original estimated time for arrival was late January of 2016.
Words cannot begin to describe the look and feel of this watch. All I know is that I love it and the blue sunburst dial is an absolutely stunning work of art. What needs to be seen and said about this magnificent timepiece has already been shown and documented on the following threads: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=443639 Thanks Fred for creating an actual enabling thread for me. Much appreciated and in all honesty probably pushed me over the edge on this one. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=440700 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=444426 Thank you to all TRF members, (Neil, Fred, Ken, Felix, Patrick and Dave and a few others I may have forgotten to mention) who have shared their pictures and experiences with this reference. So without further adieu, attached below is the customary un-boxing and wrist shot pictures (stickers to come off soon). Enjoy!

I can use the Glidelock clasp on the Sub to wear on my forearm, while the GMT and DD stay on my right and left wrist. 16 days left of shopping. Good thing the AD is open till 9pm from now till Christmas. Plenty of time to do the last minute shopping. In all seriousness, the RG or YG Daytona will have to wait until at least 2016.

If there is to be another one in 2016 or 2017, it most likely will be a PM Daytona, but for now, I am more than content as 2015 ended up being a very big year for me.

Congrats Eric, great watch!!
Are you planning to make more changes to your collection, like selling any SS watches you have? Next up, the 'Platona'? If possible, I would love to see a group photo of your (PM) watches. You have a very nice and colorfull rotation, I like it a lot!
