Quit while you're ahead...

Last week I got a 214270 Explorer and love it. After going through many watches, including the MKI short hand version, I feel I have finally landed on the watch that best suits me.

I sold a few others and have always loved 36mm Datejusts, but never had the "right" one for me. I found a nice one, a silver tuxedo 116200 at Authenticwatches. They list many watches that they don't have but I thought they can come through on those indicated as "in stock". I made the purchase. I called to double confirm. They specify overnight shipping. Today I am wondering where the tracking number is, and I call them; they put me on hold and say there was a mixup, the watch had just been sold before I ordered it, and they were hoping to get another one tomorrow. I cancelled, doubt they’ll be able to do that.

I was upset. But in the end, I think they did me a favor. I love the 214270 and don't want or need more confusion, or anything to interfere with my enjoyment of this watch. The DJ was similar to the one I am posting here, probably not roulette wheel, and the Explorer is my new watch...

It's always nice when you can find the one watch that ticks all the boxes and just feels right. Congratulations. The Explorer is a classic.
