Sub is back.....what to add next, dilemma??

Picked up the sub yesterday from Ad, pleased to say the cyclops is now straight, while in there, was asking about the daytona again, they said they really don't know when they will get another in, so asked about maybe adding something TT.. we have TT blue sub in the safe.......well had to try it on, very nice, does add a little something to my collection.........
So question is.. wait for the call on daytona what could take years,
Or get the TT in the near future, but my luck Id get the call a week later!! lol,

Will do better pics of collection when I get time

As you are in UK waiting could be years, if a D500 comes in you can sell something for it. I'd go for a TT DJ41 as you have sports nicely covered, champagne or silver dial.

The Daytona is devine! You have an A-1 collection that many would die to have, wait it out.

I'd forget the TT and the 116500. I'd save for and pick up a Smurf or WG Daytona. It would leave you some time to save and see if you move up your list at your AD.

Nice collection, why wait lots of nice models available inmediately , a bluesy or TT GMT might be an option, or maybe try a different brand , a JLC or IWC !!

Best advice I've seen. You never settle because you won't be satisfied. Flipping a tt can be expensive especially if you buy it from an ad.

TBH, I'd rather have a bluesy. I get a lot of mileage out of that watch.

But if you'd rather have a D500, then I agree with the others to wait.
