Yes! You’ve been waiting 6 months. I’m assuming you really like it and want it. Post pics when you get it.

I was really hoping for a gmt/Daytona first but having a bad itch for another watch and this came up first. Hopefully can get the others but not holding my breath or will need to wait for a recession.....

I see. I misunderstood as I thought you were waiting 6 months for a sub. This is tough. If you can afford it then why not? If you decide it’s not for you you will take a minimal hit if not make a little.

Ya can never go wrong with these!
Just need to accept today’s reality! The days when I coulda walked into a dealer and they had 2-3 of these in stock even got a discount on this are like 3-5 years gone!

Just picked it up!


They even had an explorer 2 white on display case. Tempting but I’d want a black one

They even gave me a pouch to carry the other watch I wore into the store today so I don’t have to awkwardly wear on 2 arms or put in pocket!
