Even knowing me, I can't believe this happened this fast, in this manner.

Its funny how things come together. As recently as two weeks ago I mentioned to Chadri that I was interested in the 5726 to put it on rubber and be done with the madness.

I looked at a few used examples that were over MSRP here on the forum boards.

Then I decided it was just too damned expensive. I also scratched the fu^k out of a Nautilus bezel years ago, and I had fear of maybe doing it again.

Then yesterday I saw a Patek on a customer and I was mesmerized. I even posted about it. Said I was going to take my time. Look into it.

I called my local PP dealer. They were closed. I traded a few emails with Tyler and went about my day.

I called again this morning. I've dealt with these guys before. They remembered me, and that I was local. I was told there was a list, but no one was local. He asked if I was planning to sell it. I confirmed that I had no intentions of doing so. He asked how serious I was. I said I was very serious.

I was put on hold. Upon his return, I was told that if I got there in an hour, it would be mine. I texted Chadri and he responded "go!!!!!". I PM'd Tyler and asked if this is normal, or if I just to lucky. He responded "lucky, it's meant to be...run".

I did not want to lose the opportunity. I knew I wanted something I could swin with. I knew I wanted something with lume. I wanted a day/date. And I love the moon phase technology.

I ran. They sold rubberB there, so I was in luck. I wanted the black strap, but they did not have. I saw the blue and fell in love. I will put it on black eventually, but I am loving this right now. It feels amazing on the wrist. I am super happy with this watch. All around what an amazing experience this is for me.

Thanks Tyler and Chardi for the help. Thrilled.

Thank you. Agree. Very eye catching with the strap.

Big have to acknowledge that I’m glad it’s not a Rolex. No one will know what this is.

Justifying the cost was already answered with your " i love this watch " ....... life's too short to not enjoy what you love!!!

Enjoy and have fun staring at that on your wrist for the days to come!!
