Your story is not adding up.
Ya, I can see from that perspective. Basically I was convinced to not go grey because it was the same price as the TT CHNR. So when I enquired about this in July (while picking up a DJ x2 for family), my AD said I wouldn’t be far off from get a jubilee BLNR if I bought some jewelry. Wifey’s bday was in early August and I got my BLNR. So in a way I paid a grey price cause I spent an extra few k on wifey.

Moral of the story - I listened to the forum to not go grey for the oyster BLNR. Had to do some moves, but it all seemed to have worked out. And ya, I still want the CHNR haha. I hope that clears things up?

We're right on the edge of an economic slowdown, which will bring us back to reality. Demand for luxury goods will be the first thing to take a hit in the event of economic uncertainty.
I’m doing aight in this economy :) hope people’s portfolios can hold out the storm! Great thing about the yield curve - typically a decent time to buy stocks. Check out today!

2x DJs for family, in addition to the 2 BNIB DJs you’ve sold in the last month plus? ...and the 114060 sold and 216570 for sale.

DJ sold for someone, Sub ND was mine. Current explorer 2 bought from another AD before I got offered the BLNR. Honestly, thinking of keeping it too. It’s nice, but seems like a lot all at once.
