By the way, I got my name on Daytona White and Pepsi list there

There was no holding of cards or links or boxes.

Guy next to me buying Sub Date mentioned to me about having to buy PM to get Daytona and sales lady said, “we don’t do things that way here.”

Made me chuckle since their one and only Pepsi sold before store opened to VIP customer from their Carmel store.

Overall, I’m happy with the store, inventory, management and ownership.

Pretty cool to be 1st in this new store (in my city), get their most technically advanced dive watch with arguably the best dial they make and this AD being the only one with this DSSD blue display with the DEEPSEA Challenge and original Prototype Marianna’s Trench diver.

Deep breath

Thanks for joining me on this pretty cool two days.

Congratulations Mark! Glad your dedication resulted in the D-Blue! That's a tremendous watch.

Was in the store at the same time as OP. They only had one date and one no date Subs. No Hulk, Batman, Pepsi, SS Daytona, SS Skydweller, & SS GMT. I’m sure they had these in the back for VIPs and people purchasing precious metal watches :(

MrPear · 9 December 2018, 05:20 AM

Great thread OP and congrats on the JC, it's a beast!

Relentless · 9 December 2018, 05:21 AM

Woohoo! Congrats on acquiring the number professional diver in the world. My absolute favorite 6-digit ss Rolex. Happy for you and please let us know what else they had in stock - any other photos would be fantastic as well.

Again congrats and best wishes.

Congratulations on a great pair of watches!

It would be great if you could report back sometime about which one became your favorite...

Thank you

shaunylw · 9 December 2018, 05:58 AM

The JC is incredible. Congrats on the pickup. Sounds like that AD gets it! I hope they come through for you on the list as well, that would be awesome.

I've tried a GMT and Sub before but looking at this, I don't think I could pull it off.

I agree.
One model does not fit all.
The DJ41 felt the best on me. Light, comfortable, and well balanced.
They are all beautiful though.

Awesome thread and great pictures, thanks for sharing!

jps3b · 9 December 2018, 06:36 AM

Can anyone tell me the address of this store. I want to come down from Santa Monica just to look at the challenge watch. Here’s my JC

Congratulations OP!

Looking forward to one of your reviews.

A packed grand opening...people hopeful to find something impossible. There is the real reason for the shortage. CRAZY FREAKIN DEMAND at its best !!

Thanks for the pics! I love seeing these. Next best thing to actually being there. Beautiful 116618LB! That is one of my grails! Did you buy that watch?

And.....what is that I spy in the background? Is that a 116500LN SS white dial Daytona I see? Were you the very lucky buyer for that one??
