Got the call, very excited about this one...

So I received a call out of the blue (pun intended) on Friday (day 2 of nationwide lockdown 2.0 here in the UK) from my local AD saying they had a special watch with my name on it. Couldn't collect until today and it was from an empty shopping centre with security on the main door to ensure you had legitimate business you see...

Anyway, here it is in all its glory, the only fly in the ointment is that the manager usually lets me keep almost all the stickers on, as it was a click and collect it was naked on arrival :-(

Checking it out in the carpark as was a quick collection at the entrance to the store...









It joins my SD4000, BLNR, BLRO & LVc

I am on the list for the new LV and for the Daytona (since April 2019 same as the SkyD) lets hope 2021 brings that paid to my collection

So cool, looking, I only recently realized the red month marker, that's a pretty impressive piece, and the blue dial is great, congrats.

Thanks guys I've been pinching myself all weekend.

I sold my entire collection other than my BLNR to fund a house move in 2016 and a couple of years later learned that everything I sold was worth 50% more at least...

I wondered if I would ever be able to get the collection up to similar levels again. I've worked with my local AD. He knows I'm a collector and has supplied 3 hard to obtain watches in 22 months. LV, BLRO and the skyD. I paid £3.5k over what I sold my SD4000 for as I simply had to have it back and it was discontinued but again that is worth another £2.5kI more already 2 years later. Crazy times but I feel very fortunate.
