New D Blue

So I bought last week a black deep sea, which I haven't even worn yet. As I was expecting to be waiting a year for the D blue. Then I got the call this morning that my d blue is here. Now all I need to work out is how to get rid of a BNIB black deep sea.

Congratulations, it's a beauty and looks great on you

Good luck on moving the black, I'm sure someone will want it for its classic looks.

Huge congrats! How long were you on the waiting list for? Enjoy it in the best of health.

Return the Deepsea to the store you bought it from for a refund.

Thanks. I was on the list two months. So I got very lucky. That's a good shout about returning it.

Great watch! Congrats!
Does your AD ave a return policy since the black is only a week old and unworn?

Another vote here to return the black to your AD. Providing it's unworn, unsized, unmarked and all the stickers are in place I would imagine it can still be sold as brand new.

Congrats on the D-Blue, it's an awesome piece

I would definitely try to return the black dial. Especially if the same AD.

Congrats on the D Blue!

would love to, but not sure I can justify keeping both - still waiting for the BLNR which hopefully will be next.

If you haven't worn the black deep sea, return the watch.
The store should offer refunds up to 14 days? Worth a try.

That's pretty great! Easy peasy. If you have a weighing scale you should post the D-Blue's weight in the PYRTWW thread, it'll be the first.

Shocked they would take it back because it is technically used, but good for you.
