Incoming - This is the one
A few years ago I finally decided to upgrade my situation to a full PM piece. While on a work trip I stepped into an AD in Dallas and they had a 1 yr old - trade in example of a 116619LB in the case, priced fairly decent. I knew right then that was The One. I called my regular SA on the spot, told him where I was and what I had in front of me. He told me to hand it back and he would get me a brand new piece for the same money. That seemed like a no-brainer.
Well, the Smurf was dropped from the line-up right after that, my SA quit, and the PM market went nuts. I eventually picked up a 126619LB and it was ok, had to have it serviced, but it was always just ok. This one is more than ok. This is, in fact, The One. As mentioned in my incoming Hulk thread, I am re-sorting the collection. I traded a couple of watches and some cash which really means I took a small wood shed ass whoopin on this whole procedure. Phase II of Operation restay osday reductoway is now complete. I present my favorite watch. |

Congrats, 2 of my favorite subs. Hulk & Smurf. One of the reasons I love the 1st Gen ceramic Bluesy. It has a Smurf dial without paying the full PM Smurf price.

Can’t understand why they made the new one with a black dial, this one is so much cooler and really sets itself apart from the SS models.

Congratulations, beautiful watch. I have a bluesey that I have been considering trading up to full PM. Torn between the WG and the YG. Kinda leaning towards full YG but I do love the Smurf.

Oh, now that is the BOSS and my grail watch. I tried a “display only” only one on at my last trip to the AD. Told the AD that is my desired retirement watch for next year. Checks all the boxes IMHO. Well done sir, and well worth the trades and $$$. Enjoy!
