Now, if I wake up tomorrow and there's a picture of a Daytona in my inbox...nah, that would never happen. (Actually, THAT would never happen.)

Congrats! Similar situation I've found myself in recently... Bought couple watches from local AD <$10k each and came back a week later to find they received Rolex shipment that day and he brought out a 116500LN. Didn't feel like I deserved it but of course I/we do!!

Seriously, take an objective look at what you just posted.
No question it's a weird world we're in.

Congrats. Maybe that Daytona is in your near future. They say things happen in threes

From your mouth...

I wouldn't mind a few months (or more) for my credit card to cool down, but who am I kidding?

I wouldn’t call it extravagant luck, you picked up a Sub and an Explorer.

If you got the call for any of the following in that short duration of time then yeah, unbelievable luck.

BLRO
DaytonaC
BLNR Jubilee
SubLV
SkyD Blue
