Keeping BLNR, adding Daytona C, selling mint 116519. Would alternate wearing both SS as daily whereas I have hardly ever worn the 116519 being WG. no real logic for that apart from I always felt the WG daytona ito be for special occasions only

I'm considering flipping my BLNR, and for a chrono, but it's not a ceramic Daytona...

You mean, an ordinary Daytona - but with added ceramic? Meh. Let me think for a second.

Second's over.

No.

Thinking of flipping a kidney for a Daytona-c. The BLNR stays.

As of this writing, I will not flip nor add until I can see it on my wrist. Until that day comes, I will continue enjoying my BLNR.

Best,

Scott

Not my fridge, but I would definitely flip my dish washer for a washing machine. Never use the dish washer, and having a washing machine actually inside my apartment would be the height of luxury.

I haven't flipped any of my watches yet and I certainly wouldn't start with my BLNR.

That is what I meant in regards to flipping the BLNR for the new Ceramic Daytona, Financially Speaking. My apologies for not elaborating.

The BLNR and the fridge stay... I'd consider adding the DaytonaC if it's not ridiculously difficult to get. Or maybe I'll just get a washer and be done with it
