Got the Call!!!!
So after lasts weekends bit of luck?? GMT 11 BLNR in window, put a deposit down on it Monday first thing after sleeping on it, picking it up this morning..... well, got a call at 9.30 from them, thinking the worst, they had sold it by mistake, oh no, it was to say the Sub Lvc was in!!!!
Ouch wasn't really expecting it quite so soon!!!!
Dilema, loved the look of the GMT last week, seeing the Lvc for the first time in person WOW!! like most have said that dial is stunning!!
They were happy to transfer the deposit from the BLNR.................
Now which one do you go for???????


The answer........BOTH!!!!!


Poor bank balance

Now how do you put pics up?? I'm useless on computers.,

Of course both! I was on the list for a DatyontaC, but bought a DJ2 three weeks ago as I wasn't sure how long it wold take to get the call. Yesterday, I got the call for the DaytonaC..poor bank balance is right but staring at the watches outweighs that..cheers!

Can't go wrong with those two...both great watches. I would seriously consider the both option as it seems the steel models are so hard to get for you UK guys. Never know when another one of either is going to appear...

Congrats in advance!

It's just like buses, nothing for ages then 2 at once! As Larry says even our American cousins know of our scarcity so if you can get both then that's the best play, and I now see you have, well done!
