The AD must really be impressed with your love of the brand. Im sure you leap frogged a few clients to get your BLRO.

Took these when I came down for a visit




We have a lot in common

Wow I've never seen the 2 watches in your 1st pic. What are those and when were they produced? Look great!

Great story and pictorial! The BLRO with the jubilee and Black Dial really goes well together. I almost like it more than the 116719... almost, lol

Hello. They are both replicas of the deep sea challenge. The two watches that were sent down into the Mariana Trench. The deepest known area in the world. Roughly seven miles deep. The watch in the left went down in the 60’s. The one on the right went down in 2012 with Director James Cameron (Titanic) and that’s why they made the DSSD. There is much more info out there. Just Google deep sea challenge

Good day

Oh man —- I have been blessed by this AD for sure, but a white dial Daytona 500C would be an incredible addition.

Excuse me for a moment while I throw up . . . . . . . . . . . . . OK, I'm back.

Seriously tho, nice job. The early bird gets the worm. They're a great AD. I've met them all as well, but I think I'm too late to the party at this point. And thanks to the exposure here, they're now just another AD with mile-long wait lists. But at least they'll talk to you and give you some hope, remote as it may be.

Congrats on another great reference!

Fourtane is a great boutique with some great people working there. I'm in SD once or twice a year and finding Fourtane on my last trip was a nice surprise!
