5 digit vs 6 digit reference? Love them all and INCOMING Hulk!

I have been waiting to add the Hulk for about 3 years. It really took me a while to warm up to the new green since I am such a 16610LV fan. Still, better late than never and she is just a beauty to wear.

Overall, I added 3 new 6 digit birds this year to hold myself over until I get the C-Tona call so please... call me soon!










Joining the rest of the classic 5 digit crew... and at the end of the day, they are just all so beautiful to wear. No complaints

It's shocking because I have the identical collection to you (well minus a few extras on my end that I'm sure you might be withholding due to repeats like multiple 16710s). I'm just waiting on some Daytonas coming in.....great minds think alike? Spectacular.

Fred,

I salute you, sir, on the state of your collection.

Seriously, congrats on the LV...looks fantastic! I've been wanting one myself for a while and your pictures are so...enabling.

Question: are you keeping both Daytona's when you get the call for the C?

Congrats again!

Thank you gents and thank you buddy Larr!

Yes, I plan to keep both Daytona(s) and one of them being a Zenith. This way, I will have 3 generations of Daytona models!

Yes, I can't wait to get the call!

Big congrats Fred Very nice and diverse collection. Im trying to talk myself into an LVC. It's a beautiful watch. I know how quick I tire of the green on the 16610LV so I'm on the fence.

Enjoy in good health

Congratulations Fred. How hard was the decision to let go of the Kermit for the Hulk?

I think the glidelock on the newer generation sub is a true upgrade and worthy of the swap from 16610LV. Knowing how I am, I will probably add one back in time though
