Visited my AD and tried on 3

First was the black Daytona 500. Really better in person than in the pics I have seen. Have my heart set on the white, yet the black is very striking.

Second was the Sub C, yeah, I need one of these. It's on the list of must haves.

Third the SS YachtMaster II. Learned how & why it works as well as how to set it. I now have a new found appreciation for this, maybe I should take up sailing.

Was hoping they still had the BLNR but it sold. Also tied on an estate WG Day Date with an Oyster bracelet, If it had a President bracelet I would have been hard pressed to not put down a deposit

I recall you buying a Deep-Blue-Sea-Dweller around the holidays, correct?
There was a BLNR in the Portsmouth store last Thursday when I stopped in.

Yes, that's when I bought the D-Blue. Glad to know the BLNR is there.

I'm shocked that they had a Daytona-C available to try on. Was it a presold piece waiting to be picked ip?

I took off my sd4k just to try this. If you can jump from a sub just get the Daytona C do it. But a Black Sub is a must :)

I like all three. And the black dial Daytona C is sharp.

Not pre-sold, they've been holding it in the safe knowing I'd be in.
