Consolidation & Incoming! 1st Ceramic Piece
Hi All!
My wedding is coming up and my budget was $10k for a personal item. My #1 watch was the new Pepsi or Jubilee BLNR, but I knew it was impossible to get it at retail price. So I started looking at my other options, such as a new YM, new DJ, IWCs, etc. Then one day an idea came into my head to sell some of my pieces to fund the Pepsi, stay within my budget, and not beat around the bush. Although I hated the idea of paying the premium for it, the rest was history. I couldn't be happier with this consolidation, and with my first Ceramic piece  Before:  After:

Congrats on the new GMT Jon, it’s a fantastic piece and I can’t blame you for wanting to trade up for it now...you’ll get a ton of enjoyment out of it!

Trade a Tudor and an Exp II for a BLRO? That’s probably the best trade I’ve seen in a long time, even if you had to add cash. Great collection! Congrats on the wedding too!
