Hunt for my grail is over - Collection is fulfilled

So, almost six month ago to this day I purchase my first ever Rolex by walking into local to my work AD. I wasn't expecting to buy anything but walk out with DSSD. Then I registered for this TRF. And boy-o-boy, I learned a lot! I set the goal to have three Rolex watches collection which I achieved this past Monday, again by walking into same AD without any expectations. My last watch and a grail one is DaytonaC which I received today by mail (my AD is in the neighboring state). All stickers and even barcode were not removed by AD. And of course pictures are provided, otherwise not happened

Amazing collection, congrats on the pick-ups!!

I agree, a white dial would round out this collection!

Congratulations on your grail. Anything beyond three is now considered the beginning of a compulsion (just joking). Enjoy in great health.

Nice collection, but please don't think that it is done, fulfilled, complete, etc...there will always be another! The itch is scratched, but you'll itch again before you know it (especially if you hang around TRF)
