I'm sure this doesn't count as a double but, INCOMING!
I’m not sure that this quite counts as a double incoming but here goes anyway.
First of all, my new acquisition; call it what you want, blingy Sub, Sub in Alan Whickers, whatever. The gorgeous blue dial Yacht-Master, which is another that’s been on my radar for the past couple of years. Special order that came in today and a tidy discount too. The weather has unfortunately been pants here today but I cannot wait to see this baby in the sun. Some of you know my reasons for picking this up so I won’t bore you with the same old guff and waffle again but suffice to say that my Rolex box is now full. Again. Thanks are in order to Neil (AK797), John (Sensui) and Dr. Tom (tkerrmd) for their most excellent enabling and pics  Also, I picked up my beloved 116520 from RSC Singapore complete with a shiny new bezel. I tried, I really did, to live with that gouge in the bezel but after nine months I threw the towel in. It was driving me berserk so I had it fixed. I hear that some are not happy with the service provided at RSC Singapore but I have nothing but praise for them. Great job  So after three incomings in the past five weeks, that's me done and dusted for a long time to come! Here’s the obligatory photographs but I haven’t had a chance to take the stickers off the YM yet. I’ll do that later after me nosebag

Love the Daytona, looks brand new! Sometimes I find myself enjoying the pre-ceramic Daytona more.
That YM is the only YM I'd ever consider owning. Congratulations!

Congrats! I love that YM ... the way that red seconds hand stands out against the mesmerizing blue dial is something special. And, yeah, I suppose the Daytona ain't half bad either.
 Enjoy the now full watch box. Now you can turn your attention to the agonizing decision that must be made each morning: What to wear today?

The blue YM is what convinced me to sell my 16600. (although I ended up with a Daytona - long story)
It's beautiful . Congrats Paul. Your Daytiona looks mint. I'd have done the same
