Offered different watch from AD than I wanted. should I?

The answer for me is pass, based on your comments. I have owned and sold the DSSD JC several times and it is a great watch but not one that would work daily for my tastes. I think you have already wasted a year waiting for the AD to deem you worthy of a watch. Now it is one that you do not want any longer. Why would you not go to one of our Trusted Sellers and find the watch you want and negotiate a price that you can live with and pay and get the watch the next day by lunch. By the time you pay the taxes on the AD Submariner you will be in the range of the Trusted Seller watch. It is hard for younger enthusiasts to not get caught up in the AD game and I have been a victim myself. Once I broke out of it I have been much happier and my collection reflects my tastes and desires based on my budget. Get a watch from a Trusted Seller, tell your AD to change your preferences to whatever would be next on your list and happily wait for that allocation while you enjoy your Submariner. Good luck and keep us posted.
