Yea, posts like this are annoying, doesn't acknowledge the canyon between difficult of acquisition between those listed models and the Panda.

I’ve been waiting five years for a Batgirl but that was just for me to save up the funds. I don’t think waiting five years for the hardest model to source from the AD is crazy.

Yes you can pay 2.5x retail and have it from a grey tomorrow but sometimes the wait adds to the enjoyment……… maybe!

I think it depends on when you got it- for whatever the BLRO got trickier to procure in the past 6-7 months or so. How exactly it fares with the current 126500, I don't know.

OP, congrats on the new acquisition! Looks great on you!

It’s just wrong! It’s hard to get allocated a SS Daytona. Kudos to the OP for doing what it takes, and being patient. He was rewarded in the end.

Amen! Just reading this thread now. Where someone is announcing that they got something they’re excited about, I feel that if you can’t say something nice, don’t participate in the discussion. If someone posts a thread asking if a Rainbow Daytona is too flashy, I might say that it’s not something I would wear. But if someone says they just got one, I would never say that. Either congratulate them or say nothing. But don’t say, “Congrats, but I’d never wear it.”

It’s common courtesy. It should be a little more common around here.

That person is no longer a member, so the mods did not like his comments, either. We are all enthusiasts here, and should support one and other, even when we don’t like a particular watch that someone is excited to have finally been allocated. Can’t we all just be kind? Bottom line: As you said, If someone can’t say something positive, he should just remain silent.

Congrats, OP!

Late to this party, but I echo several others. Congratulations on acquiring an absolute grail of a watch. You did what you had to do, and it paid off. Wear it in the greatest of health.
