Mindset.

Wear it with a right mindset. Who cares if it is a ‘rare’ piece, coupled with the marketing gimmick on waiting list bla-blas. You buy the watch for enjoyment not for proofing the recession, you have locked the cash for at least for 3-5 years until you see the model is discontinued; you see it appreciate if you are lucky.

Wear it humbly with right mindset and in good health

Left is the Pepsi Meteorite in white gold and the right is the Daytona 8 Diamond in white gold. The AD said that these are at least 18 month wait ONLY if you’re in the executive list. Both are much more rare than any Pepsi and Daytona to date.

Beautiful watches! That meteorite Pepsi is one of my favorites! It is a shame that you have to sell the Daytona so quickly, though.

I am also curious why that Daytona is up for sale. Didn't bond with it? Part of a package deal to get the Pepsi? It is a beautiful watch regardless.

Need to free up some cash for several reasons. Got another baby coming and a couple of other non Rolex pieces I’m eyeing on the AP and PP side.
