The outgoing, the incoming, the most recent & the off catalogue
I recently posted about my quandary in terms of pulling the trigger on a rose gold olive dialled DD or not.
Well I did it. Here's a few very rough and ready snaps of the 1999 Submariner I traded against the DD, clearly the DD I'm getting, the Bluesy I got earlier in the year from the same AD lurking in the background and an amazing off catalogue piece a customer ordered. The RRP on that was double the DD  The quality of the gem setting is unreal. I get the DD in a few weeks. It's half paid for with the 2nd half due when I leave the country to save the GST (duty free purchase). Can't wait. I tend to go to Singapore as it's such an epic country, and think I will do so again. Its funny how tastes change. A few years ago I was stainless steel all day long. At that point I'd had a Submariner for 30 years. I'd always kinda liked the Bluesy, but landed a Rootbeer GMT in 2021, a stainless slate YM in 2022 and the Bluesy in early 2023, plus a Datejust and a matching 37mm YM for my partner. Over this period I became more attracted to full PM and my partners Datejust saw me looking at those more and more too. And here we are. |

Looks great, you made the right choice and it certainly looks like you are living well!
That said I'm surprised the AD is letting people handle someone else's off catalog order... |

Does anyone else get annoyed that the AD shows off the off catalogue order for anyone to touch?
Very cool to see though, thanks for sharing! |

Congrats! Its new to me that Singapore ADs practise such a concept of taking 1/2 as deposit to secure the piece! Thats a fair way for both customers and ADs.

Was offered that same off catalogue piece by my AD a while back.....albeit in a different color. I like the orange a bit more (pretty sure there is a light blue as well). Agree that the gem setting is amazing - just don't have a lot of use for a watch like this.

Is it weird that the biggest standout for me was the return of a faux-end link, leather strapped, DD?
