Incoming !!! Finally !!
First of all, hope everyone is well.
Finally, my AD called me to pick up the BLNR in Jubilee today and i immediately went to pick it up. This is my first Rolex Sports SS bought for retail from AD by the way. For me, the jubilee feels more comfortable and sits better than my 116610LV Hulk oyster bracelet. I’ve posted previously wondering to get the BLNR in oyster or jubilee and decided to let the AD decide for me, and here it comes by the way the oyster bracelet can be bought from my local RSC for about 1800 USD anyways as I’ve consulted through call. I’ve waited a total of 5 month, however during that time, I’ve sold my 126710CHNR as I don’t think I need two GMT in my collection, and coincidently saw my friend friend’s Daytona OF and it’s totally stunning. Consulted my SA if it’s possible to switch the GMT to Daytona OF and said it’s possible. However after 4 month of waiting, SA said the list didn’t even move an inch and suggested me to switch back to BLNR. I’m not a patient person so I’ve switched back to the list of BLNR. I thought that it’s gonna be long but who knows, my lovely SA called me in two weeks to ask me to pick up the beautiful BLNR. With some extra cash left from the sale of CHNR @ market price, just a couple of days before my SA called for the BLNR, I’ve decided to switch up my collection which consist of AP 15500ST Blue, Hulk and Tudor GMT, and traded my AP plus Tudor plus Cash for a PP 5726A nautilus on strap which I’ve posted an incoming on Patek Discussion Forum. Always felt the AP was too big for me as my wrist is just about 6.6 inches, and finally decided to make a move and did not regret it as the Nautilus is truly stunning in terms of any ways. So my current collection consist of only 3 watches, 5726A, 116610LV and 126710BLNR. Still felt like missing a Daytona but wallet does not approve , maybe a few years down the road I might reconsider getting one when it’s easier. Sometimes I do wonder if I did a right move but life goes on Here’s some picture, thanks for reading guys !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You did the right thing! Congrats. Always great to get such a watch at retail price. I just got the Pepsi at retail too (via a bundle). Great job sizing down. I'm also going through a similar stage right now, and I feel my collection is way too big at the moment, which most of my watches are in the bank.
I'm really wanting the 5726 or the 5712... Btw, I got a Panda Daytona, it's truly amazing, but I got too many desirable things right now, that is an actual problem because I don't own the one watch I really want right now (SS Nautilus), but own several others that I always wanted to own, but don't get to wear them! Good problem to have, but after you get what you always want, you start to realize you don't even get to wear most of what you thought you totally would, too many options. I think you're doing great with a 3 watch collection. Daytona will come one day, hopefully at MSRP.
