Almost here! LM2 Pd

I know I am counting my chicks before they are hatched. But this is just too exciting. It just arrived at my AD and the wait begins. Once I have it in my hands. I will take more pictures. I have been trying to chase an used LM2 in white metal for over a year and then this was announced. This is perfect for me as the dial color is my favorite and palladium is my most favorite precious metal.

Well... it deeply saddens me to say something came up a few weeks back and... so getting it would have been reeeeeeally 'tight' (plus since November 2021 increasing expenses, etc etc). Could do it, sure, but would have been 'stressful'. Am on 'only add and wear' mode and didn't want to trade anything, plus I truly do enjoy them for various occasions (from the ultra-thin Octo FS to the Submariner and Daytona... and big chunky PAM on the bracelet and all in-between).

When the time is right it'll happen. If my lotto ticket wins this weekend I'll get an HM9 Sapphire. It may be 'only' simple time, yet the artistic achievement is dreamy! That's my fave of all MB&F timepieces.

What also bums me is I had a fun photoshoot planned when the blue M.A.D.1 arrived (it would include the Red version and Sherman too). Ah well, you win some you lose some. To be fair it's been a cRaZy busy week in a verrrrry good way and totally surprised to get the Rolex 116500LN call too. So am really grateful. And let's face it, we're all very lucky gents.

Am sure the lucky person who gets it in three months will appreciate not having to wait too much.

PS: Also have various Willy Woka memorabilia for the LM101 photoshoot. Ah well, thankfully the Everlasting Gobstopper will last forever.

I am sure it will happen if it is meant to be. It is a hobby, and life have other priorities.
