I agree! I will buy the black and keep it or trade later...A bird in hand.

Wow, the responses here are telling. It's clear and simple: OP, you did the right thing. You and others like you are part of the solution. To those suggesting OP should have taken something he didn't want just to flip it, do you not realize you're part of the problem?

I'm not sure the original poster is still reading this post, but I will share my story. I always wanted a Daytona, white dial. I finally got offered Daytona, but it was a black dial. I bought it anyway because of the Daytona hype. I ended up trading it for a Bluesy Sub within a year. I don't know if that was because it was not a white dial that I originally wanted or because after owning a Daytona I realized it was more about the chase and hype, than the watch itself. I have never purchased another Daytona since and I currently own a few Submariner models. This Daytona is from circa 2018 +/-. I would not feel bad about passing on something you didn't want. You hopefully gave someone else the opportunity to purchase the black dial Daytona that they really wanted.

No update still. Starting to regret not getting the black, but they're still within a year timeframe.
Hearing more and more about my AD, my hopes are getting lower, but would love to be surprised. If I don't have the white by March or so, I'm seriously considering asking for the black again since I'm seemingly only worthy of the black. |

Yeah....
Just haven't really hard anything in a bit, so that's making me a little less optimistic. I don't want to pester them, but once I'm getting right up on that 1 year mark, I will start pushing a lot harder. |

How often have you been reaching out? I think once a month is more than reasonable, if you haven’t been doing that already.

I don't sell newly purchased watches unless a close family member really wants the watch and then I either gift it (dad) or sell it at my cost...one exception was to my boss
However.... I remember when I originally read this post....I thought to myself given how difficult these references are to obtain that the least I would have done is taken the black dial, given it some wrist time and see if I was happy enough not to need the panda....if I still wanted the panda I think in this case I would have broken protocol and flipped it, especially as a part exchange the difference would not have been that great and tried to live with the fact the flip was purely for another watch although I know that's still frowned upon.... I do hope your AD comes through for you eventually |

Man …
If this were a movie, you’d be sipping champagne with your new white dial Daytona at the AD while the mean TRF bullies who chastised you fall on hard times are forced to sell their collection to the guy who slept with their wife. I’m still rooting for you OP, but I was really hoping you would have the call by now. |

Don’t think it’s a mistake at all. You’re waiting for the piece you want, can’t see how you can disagree with that being the correct move
I’m sure they’ll get you the white dial soon… we all know how these things work by now! If you have the relationship, you’ll get one. If you don’t, well then you wouldn’t have got one anyway, no matter how long you wait. And you clearly have enough of a relationship with them

I think it was a mistake to pass on that Daytona, that said I hope that I am wrong and you get the call that you are waiting for. Time will tell.
