I felt your pain in March and April - three SS Rolex in twenty-nine days.

All from my superb AD in Portsmouth, NH.

Watches and their "birthdays" are listed in my sig.

Love the hulk, I think you need to ask about the Ceramic Daytona.

Less than a month later I get the call that it's in and it has my name on it. Well damn! I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon. Well, ok, back up to the AD to get the Polar. As I was walking out with the Polar I inquired about the Hulk and that I really wanted one. She tells me that one will take quite a while to get ahold of. Cool, no problem, I assumed that would give me enough time to recover from the D-Blue and Polar. NOPE! Yesterday I got the call that the Hulk is in and it has my name on it. Crap! Ok, I can't give her the impression that I talk nonsense so back to the AD I go to get the Hulk. This time I keep my big mouth shut while walking out. I think, she thinks she has a whale, but I'm far from it.

I probably should have stopped at the D-Blue, then went after the Polar a few months later, then the Hulk about 6 months afterwards. But this Hulk OMG is a beauty and I love it! I love ALL of them!

Now my girlfriend thinks I'm going off the deep end with this watch thing, she doesn't get it. I tried to explain to her that some people have boats, some have motorcycles, some even have planes, some have all three. I have none of those, all I have are these three watches. The only reaction I get is a confused look on her face. Maybe she'd rather have a boat, motorcycle, a plane, or all three

Bank account is going to take a break for a while
So now you can focus on a nice C55 or 310R.

Congrats for your hat-trick .....

Same thing happened to me... Was inquiring about 116515ln during a breguet event here in my town..... About 2 weeks later got a message from my sales that they had one coming in. Within 2 days I brought it back home. Told my sales that I really want a hulk to compliment my batman..... He told me that I might be able to get one really soon.... Keep my fingers cross :p

Trust me, it’s not over. Soon you will be window shopping again. I’m still looking, I like your Hulk, but after buying five Rolex watches, a Breitling and a JLC, I’m trying to stay away from my AD. But just last week I get an invitation to a Patek Philippe social event sponsored by my AD. So, beware..,. My last purchase: a white face Daytona. 🥂

Congrats on a great trio, they should keep you content for awhile. Similar situation here, bought 3 new since nov. I stopped at my fav. AD yesterday and was offered a Gmt ln but thinking my Polar will suffice that itch I passed, don't really want to drop 9k right now but thinking.
