Only took 6 ADs and 700 miles of travel until I found an AD with 2 of these in the case so I bought one. Saw a ton of Daytonas and GMTs along the way.

Congrats and enjoy on the fruits of your labor!

Congrats. Can you be specific on what Daytonas and GMTs you saw?

Congrats on the Sub! I assume the "ton of Daytona's" were TT?

TheFuture · 16 November 2018, 05:26 AM

Which GMTs?

stylinleems · 16 November 2018, 05:39 AM

marc2828 · 16 November 2018, 05:48 AM

yes, where are the Daytonas?

HogwldFLTR · 16 November 2018, 05:51 AM

Congratulations on the Sub. A year ago I wouldn't have thought twice about it; now it's getting rare.

SS Oyster · 16 November 2018, 05:56 AM

One would assume not SS Daytona or SS Pepsi or he would have bought them if only to flip them.

1 Platona
2 Steel with yellow gold Daytona
1 Rose gold Daytona
1 White gold Daytona
1 Yellow gold oysterflex bracelet Daytona
2 Platinum Day Date
2 YG Day Date
1 Rose gold Sky Dweller with leather brand
1 Smurf Submariner
1 Hulk Submariner
1 Steel/Yellow gold Submariner
4 Yachtmasters
2 Pepsi GMT
2 Black bezel GMT (don't know the nickname of that one)
2 Submariners with date (bought one of these)
5 million variations of DateJusts

I wouldn't have bought any model for a flip. If I saw a SS Sky Dweller I would have bought it for myself but that's it. Too much of a hassle to try and flip, imo.

I got lucky with the Sub. The manager said he got those 2 Subs in two days ago.

Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures either. Would have loved to share them. I had things to do all day so I didn't have too much time to hang around ADs.

On mobile so it's hard to resize pics to comply with attachment requirements.

Wow, two hot models in cases (assuming they weren't pre-sold and the Pepsi's were SS) and that Sky-D on leather looks amazing - love the dial!

Congrats on your Sub! I will guess (and give odds) that the Pepsi GMTs were both WG.

I'm not a big fan of rose gold but the Sky Dweller on leather looked amazing. I was tempted to buy it. My wife said that one looked the best. My only concern would be getting the leather wet.

Rilz · 16 November 2018, 11:19 AM

That's awesome, congratulations!

rb250 · 16 November 2018, 11:21 AM
