Do it! congrats

DONE!

Stopped by the morning, looked at it, bought it.

It's being shipped to me (AD is in another state).

Will have it on Tuesday.

This is the same place I got my Sub Date back in May, and had purchased 7 other watches in the past.

AD is confident a Daytona can be had...

Congrats

I've been contemplating being in the same situation. I have the cash to buy now but am also saving separately as to not put a dent in my savings. But If I did get the call I would gladly put down the cash since the watch I'm waiting for sells for almost double retail.

Congrats. Beautiful watch.

Exactly. When I looked for a Sub Date, I was warned about "the list" from local ADs. Then I remembered I had a history with one (long story why I forgot about the 6 Tag Carreras I bought in one day is explained in my first posts here.)

Suddenly, I was able to get a Sub Date the same day. Asked about getting on the Daytona list and was met with pleasant but realistic reaction "Sure, but it could be a long time"...

Stopped back in to ask about the Daytona again. Warmer reaction, but cautioned about the wait.

Stopped in yet again to ask about the Daytona...and a BLNR. "We can get you the GMT."

When I got the call about the Batman, I wasn't even excited. "Sorry, not in the market now." Then I stopped and thought of the big picture. "Actually....I'll swing by tomorrow."

Now I have a Sub Date on my wrist and a BLNR on a FedEx truck. I'll have time to get used to both. And see what happens with a Daytona.

If/when the Daytona comes in, I'll have some reckoning to do about what stays and what goes.

Knowing me, I'll have all three in my growing collection!

Great decision

I bought a blnr in 2015 but ended up being made redundant a week later so i returned it. Worse decision I’ve ever made. I paid £5350 for it, gone but not forgotten. Should have kept it and worried about tomorrow tomorrow lol
