I'm thinking about canceling my Daytona WG order ... 116519ln order
So, my AD initially said I could get a WG Daytona 116519ln in a few days. I put in a 50% deposit and he now says it could take months or a year. I'm thinking about canceling and getting a Patek 5205 white gold with blue dial. Thoughts? I really want a watch to celebrate my birthday and new job next month - mid October.

Well, if you made a deposit with a promise of getting the watch within a few days, then i would certainly ask for my money back!
Buy the watch you want and not whats available to meet a celebratory timeline |

Agree, a watch should be a long term commitment so buy it wisely.

I would do it for 5960 1A-001, but not 5205.

No comparison. Not even close. And that’s one of my favorite Daytona’s.
But patek. Easy.

Lol, the AD straight lied to your face. I'd be getting my money back no matter what. And yes, I'd take a Patek over a Daytona.

Let me get this straight. Your AD said a few days. You give him @ 15k. Your Ad now says a year. Need I go any further.
OK... I'd take that Patek anyway and I'm more of a Rolex fan. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

Not a fan of that Patel personally. Think WG Daytona over this one.

A blue dial Patek annual calendar or a WG Daytona that will arrive god knows when, despite you having paid deposit and being told a few days? Is this a question. Patek.

Not giving an opinion on which watch to buy - but your AD straight up lied to you - so I would take that deposit back and find another AD.
