Thank for all the congratulations folks. Been an exceptional ride over the past few years and I have come to appreciate the relationship made with my AD in pursuit of this hobby. Never been one to have to have any of the hot models, but have enjoyed this forum and learning about the hobby. My stable is a humble one but it’s mine!!

Great post, congratulations on getting a great piece. However, you and your wife did buy 2 Rolex watches from this AD. That's what? About 20 or 25 grand? Yes, it's not mega bucks but it's probably more than most customers. I challenge: it *is* a significant expenditure. Add the price of the new SubC and I'd say you're definitely a good customer.

Don't get me wrong but remember, without guys like you, the bottom line would be compromised. Now, get in there and demand a Daytona!

Point taken!! My wife and I have made a couple purchases, however, reading the posts on our forum about some awesome high end pick ups reminds me I am a pretty small fish in a big pond. I’ve never been what I would consider a serious collector, just someone who appreciates a few select pieces I’ve been luck enough to source from an awesome AD to add to a very humble collection of less than a dozen pieces from various manufactures. I have a few Rolex, numerous Ball watches, a few Citizen, and even an Invicta or two. Pretty paltry compared to many collections I’ve seen here on the forum, but it’s mine! I realize this forum isn’t representative of the average person. To be honest, I’d say most of us on this forum are pretty lucky in the grand scheme of things!

I appreciate the various points of view and have come to appreciate this great hobby over the years.

Hope you guys wear em in great health! A parting shot of my brides DJ and my new SubC Date. More to follow from the Caribbean in the coming days!

Understood. Me too, and it baffles me when I hear about these bundling deals to get to a Daytona or whatever.

Thanks for posting that picture, nice watches indeed.
