Got the call - Panda Daytona
I am still in shock that I got the call from my AD this past week to purchase a Panda Daytona. Feeling extremely grateful!

I started building a relationship with my AD about 4 years ago and purchased a few precious metal Rolex watches before (this is my first sports model purchase from the AD). Treat your AD with respect and be patient, one day you just might be rewarded with your grail watch. This watch will be in my collection forever.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

I don’t think is was all patience and respect if you purchased a few precious metal watches. Just sayin.

That's fair, but I am sure there are people that have a higher purchase history than me.

Did he tell you if it would be the 126500, not the older version?

Curious, did your AD refer to it as a "Panda" Daytona. The Panda dials are only on PM models and have solid black sub dials just like the Panda's animal's eyes against a white or light dial. There is also a reverse Panda dial which has all white sub dials on a black dial.

Four years and PM pieces... I'm really curious what those PMs are.

If I purchased a day date for instance and a couple other PMs and waited four years, I would be in the entitled crowd. No doubt.

Huge congrats. Beautiful watch.

Wow. 4 years is a lot to be patient and still patronizing the AD.
I'm glad you got the call OP, congratulations and wear in good health.
