Trigger ENGAGED..FIRE!!!!!

well..I DiD it too! just got done speaking with one of my wholesale contacts and he found "the one"...Rose gold day date. oyster band and smooth bezel, white roman dial!! she is pre-loved but in EXCELLENT shape! Box but no papers..but for the price I am paying...I am VERY happy with the deal. he is such a solid seller and a good friend..and he always has my "you pay this..when you trade, you get same amount back" deal for me. so Im confident and will be enjoying this beauty soon. she is out for a clean up and a service (as he offers gaurantees on his watches)...soon she will be on my wrist and I will post pics as soon as I get her! I am still in shock that I will be wearing the iconic day date on my wrist! and for those that have asked whats in the stable as of now..

Congrats! I remember trying out exactly that model in New York ten years ago. Together with the WG DD on Oyster it is one of the most beautiful day-dates.

Best,

A
