Suprise incoming

My SA offered me a Panda Daytona because they were not able to get me a Pepsi GMT for the past year.

Yes, I wanted one but I never asked my SA for one because I thought it wasn't a realistic ask.

Congratulations! The BLRO was harder for me to get than both Daytonas and I have a very good relationship with our AD. It finally came but it was the only piece I wasn’t confident I would get with patience. Enjoy!

Pics or it didn't count.

In other news my Porsche dealer offered me a GT2 RS because he couldn't get me a Cayenne last year

It’s a win win no matter how you handle it. Get the Daytona and keep it if you desire, or go to one of the trusted dealers and get a like new unworn Pepsi plus cash in your pocket if you so desire.

Congrats! Pretty different features to the GMT but a cool way to make up anything.

Nice. I’ve been waiting for well over a year for a plain old blue dial DateJust. “My” SA couldn’t give a sh1t and often won’t even offer me the time of day, never mind a Daytona.

the new panda still wears smaller than I thought it would. But it's a beautiful watch.
