New incoming after a record breaking 2 weeks without one!
FedEx will be feeding me again in the morning. Any guesses on what they are dishing up this time? I've been focusing on modern SS models for the majority of my recent purchases. One of our great and fearless leaders, Ken HL65 who arguably has one of if not the greatest collection on this site, was kind enough to give me extensive input on this one and I can't thank him enough for his help. It's been hard waiting. I closed the deal Sunday afternoon but with Presidents' Day I wasn't able to wire funds until this morning so it's been a long 3 weekend. I'd love to hear your best educated guesses. Russell.

That's a pretty good guess. It is an Awesome watch. But it's not the HULK this time.

Modern SS... So many good choices. I'm at a disadvantage because I haven't been keeping up with your incomings.

Not Daytona and recommended by Ken... DSSD or Sea Dweller?

As you said, you've "...been focused on modern SS purchases..."would lead me to believe it's SS as your incoming....the fact you've been in touch with Ken would lead me to believe it may be something special in VINTAGE SS...PN Daytona perhaps?

Let's see...you have Zenith Daytona, ND Sub, DSSD Blue, BLNR and EXPII. You said no Hulk. I have two guesses but I'll say Explorer.

Hmmmmm... He did mention "President's Day" in his OP so I think he is going off the grid on a Day Date...

I'm guessing Smurf bc of your love of blue, and u mentioning that u had been focusing on SS. Second guess is a SS black Daytona bc you got the white a few weeks back and love it.

That would be nice. Starting new post with answer. The Presidents' Day pick up was impressive guess as well. I actually have all of the modern SS guesses except the HULK. Vintage guess was on the money. I've loved Ken's Vintage posts for sooo long now. I'd love to have any of his great Daytona's but not yet.

Thanks again Ken and Andrew Shear of ShearTime for the answer!
