Got the call!! My biggest incoming ever.

Well as the title states my day finally came. Yes I’m short on pics and I know how WE all hate the incomings with no pics. Wanting us all to guess to drive us nuts or the ever popular 9 days till I find out post that never came to light and man how he got roasted Don’t want that.

My reasoning for no pics or model? Well it’s simple I gotta chose between 2. A DD that I’m being kept in suspense into its dial and metal, which is for a reason, it’s possibly spoken for OR option 2, a 126715 CHNR.

I’m totally digging the RG Rootbeer which is probably gonna be the one but either way I’ll be rocking my first full PM watch tomorrow one way or the other and I’m positively stoked to say the least!!!!

So guys bare with me just till tomorrow and I’ll post pics of this beast. Sorry no pics for now but at least I didn’t leave you guessing

Till tomorrow…….

Please could you take some pictures irrelevant of your decision. Would be great to see some wrist shots of both the Rootbeer and the mystery DD (my guess is RG Olive).

I don’t just yet Jay about the DD. I don’t think it’s gonna be RG or even olive. The way I heard it was you have to see it person to appreciate it.

So I’m thinking it may be a blinged out version lol. Like diamond markers and bezel. He did say MSRP is in the upper 50s so that could only be that criteria I believe.

And if so RB it is.

Well I don’t know

Gotta bout 3 more hours

Seems to me that if the watch is spoken for, then it's not really a choice any more.

Heck, if the MSRP is in the upper 50s, then for me that's definitely not a choice! For a watch? Are you out of your mind?!?!?!?

LOL, j/k, etc. I realize that some people are more financially able than others. More power to you.

Is the Triad location anywhere near me? There are a lot of Triads in the world...

Yea, CHNR for sure. Had mine for a month so far, considered selling cause I am an idiot… got my brains back… and my watch is back home.

A keeper for sure.

Plus, I’d dare say it won’t be a long running piece.

We don't just want a pic, we want a video of you walking into the store and the AD revealing the mystery 50k DD. Maybe it's the Eisenkiesel? That's in that price range, isn't it?

Time's up! Lets see it! lol

I think your Day-Date must be baguette markers with diamonds bezel.

You probably will chose Rose gold Rootbeer would be my guess.

Fair point about the DD Micheal. What I learned was that the customer hadnt made up his mind when I got the text. When I showed up I found it he did.

Which was totally fine. It wasnt for me even if it werent. Diamond hour markers and bezel but it was a sight to see.

Yeah, a watch like the root beer has more wow factor than a bunch of diamonds which can possibly come off as tacky sometimes...imo...

To NO ONE'S surprise I went RB. All I can say is the weight, look, and feel of this beast is simply amazing. Have to admit I was hesitant about the everose from all the pics online, having never seen one in the flesh, but now that I have and own one I am very very pleased.

Not as flashy as yellow gold imo and even though its PM it does seem to fly under the radar. Very happy to say the least and not to mention most importantly very very very thankful and blessed to be able to with full support of my loving wife.
