If you were given the opportunity to get the 116519LN next week or

panda and batgirl by the end of this year. Which option would you take?

if you are getting at an AD... I would vote SS. Otherwise PM Daytona.

Get what you love the most. Don't settle just because that is what is available to you.

That being said, a 116519 is an amazing piece, but if my AD can damn near guarantee shipment by December on both 116500 and a BLNR I would take the pair and wait it out.

Yeah that was what I was thinking. I like the 116519, but i would prefer it if it had a metal bracelet. I hope I'm not making a mistake.

Just buy what you like the most

If you like all of them equally, just buy the wg, life doesn’t work on promises. Get what’s here now

I love the 519 but if assured delivery by the end of the year, I'd opt for two great watches rather than one

My advice is take what they are offering you right now. Not everyone is capable of staying true to their words and you’ll end up regretting passing on something you may have liked in your collection.

What do you like?

If you like all equally, take what you can get next week if this isn't an AD you have a super strong relationship with. Things change, ADs can lose their AD status, and AD priorities can rapidly change.

The Meteorite is about to become the most desired Daytona... OF then RG will be the two everyone wants. My guess.

Depends on the dial. If it were meteorite, I'd be all over the 116519LN

SS Daytona + GMT BLNR are better choice at MSRP.
