Quit while you're ahead...

[Tbonewalk]

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...
