INCOMING | Aloha to ME & Aloha to YOU!
Aloha to you all. I'm a new member but I do have a few friends who have been active members for quite a while now.

This is actually my very first Rolex purchase! It's brand new, purchase date 3/16/2020! I purchased it from a very reputable grey dealer here. I got a very good deal - it was one that I could not pass up. I guess you could say right place, right time.

Ideally, my goal is to own the Daytona 116500LN in White. I'd love to purchase it from an AD as I want the experience. I want my name on that card. I'm one who will wear, enjoy, & cherish my watches until I can pass it on.

I fully had the intentions to sell or trade as it might help me get closer to the other watches I want - Daytona, Sky Dweller, & Rootbeer.

But it's growing on me..

Aloha to you all. Stay safe!

Not encouraging you to flip, but I would take the S/S ceramic Daytona over this any day.

I’d probably seek a trade + cash on my end before flipping it. I’m already thinking about just keeping it. Haha.

Congrats. However, I would keep the BLNR over my Daytona without question.

It’ll be a goal of mine to hopefully own both at the same time. Glad you are able to enjoy 2 beautiful pieces!

Keep it, it’s such a cool watch!!! Love the color combination and the jubilee bracelet. And the new movement, what more do you want?!

Wait - in this thread you were actively searching for a BLNR, but now, two days later you fully had the intention of trading or selling? Why go after the BLNR in the first place then?
