Very nice collection. I'm still waiting for my Rootbeer and am wondering if I'll ever see one. Frustrating as I've got the money sitting there to go, but just can't seem to source one. I'll have to make do with pictures for now.

Love the Bluesy as well. I was on the fence about that and the Rootbeer but I think the Rootbeer wins for me :)

20 months ago I was told my Rootbeer was an acquired taste, and easy to get by an AD in London. Look at it now.

Fantastic!
I was on the fence between the Bluesy and Rootbeer.

How quickly you got the OF Daytona?
I am starting to like them.

Why would you want to add SS?? Don’t buy the hype, gold is better if you can afford it, and you have that nailed. Go the other way, go Platinum Daytona.

It will come eventually. I was lucky with my Bluesy, got it in a week from making the request. The Rootbeer on the other hand I requested in May and got it in October.....as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait!

Wow what a collection you got there!!! Definitely the Bluesy and Daytona is my favourite. How did you managed to get these fine pieces? AD or Grey?

My collection is lined up in order of acquisition, starting with the Seadweller TT. The Daytona took six months and was a complete surprise. My AD is great, all the SAs are friendly, approachable and down to earth. From what I read here I’m lucky as some other ADs don’t seem to be so accommodating.

You have a very impressive collection too, congratulations.

Thanks for the feedback, I love them all and am totally obsessed by them! All were obtained from my local AD, all the SAs are great. I’ve spent a good amount in a short time which obviously has helped with availability, but to have the opportunity is amazing in this drought!

[QUOTE=JRell;11314703]To me - TT bluesy and root beer are amazing in any collection. I can even make a case these 2 are all one needs, maybe throw in a SS for daily. Really love your collection![/QUOTE

Congrats. That’s a super nice collection. May I suggest a Day Date as your next acquisition.
