Double Incoming

Shared this on my instagram last week.

My journey to the Daytona 500C and the Hulk was a long one that had actually brought me to my first Patek & AP.

I'd almost given up and was telling myself that it is OK if I never ever had the chance to actually own one (denial??? ). So I feel very grateful to be able to acquire these two as it happened at a time I least expected given the availability "issues" and what not.

There seem to be no let up on the demands for these two models and this is reflected by the crazy prices they are going for currently. So I think anytime is a good time to add the Daytona 500C and the Hulk to your collection

Ya, I'm late to the game . .

After it was announced at Basel 2016, I had decided to wait on getting the Daytona 500C and along the way, have since picked up the Aquanaut Travel Time and AP RO 15400 Boutique Blue (if you've been following my feed, you'd know how I feel about these two ).

Over time, I was so disillusioned with the Daytona 500C's so called scarcity  and the waiting game. I just thought that if it's meant to happen, it will happen. .

And that day has come ... .

I love my Kermit (because of the maxi dial in a classic sub case) so much that I feel that I don't need to have a 116610 Sub with the maxi case design.

Well... I was "misguided" . Don't get me wrong, I still love the Kermit but the Hulk to is an entirely different beast (pun intended ).

Thanks!

I wish it is 3 generations but technically the 116520 and the 116500 are of the same 6 digit reference.


Hopefully I'd able to add a 6XXX Daytona at some point, of which chances are actually getting slimmer and slimmer given the rate of how quickly the prices are escalating
