If everything works out, I'll get my one and only next week! It will be a valuable watch that I can wear every day and on every occasion. For me it embodies emotion, perfection, and understatement. No, it's not a Patek...

Surely you are WIStful rather than witsful

I'm guessing it's a new Daytona. Black cerachrome bezel and either a black or white face. Gleaning what little description of the liquidated collection is available, in thinking something in the $12,000 to $15,000 range.

One of the last two watches to go was a Sinn Chronograph. That leads me to believe it was dear to the OP and maybe -- just maybe -- the grail will be a Chronograph. And that's the Daytona. Of course a DD fits too since the other watch of the last two was a 15210. But I'm sticking with Daytona.

Smurf or BLRO would've been my guess, the most versatile PM watches Rolex makes IMO and perfect one and only or part of larger collection.

Congrats on the DD!

Okay, here is a short update: the bill was paid yesterday after a brief internet check of the serial number. I hope the delivery can be arranged for tomorrow. It's about time you get to see the first pics then...

Beauty! The smooth bezel is just so much nicer than the fluted imo.

Congrats and wear in good health.
