INCOMING DaytonaC Black
Got the itch this week and had to pull the trigger. The black is so stunning in person and I really prefer it to the white.I feel now with a pure black dial my collection is really rounded out.Love this hobby, but god damn is it expensive..

AD went to size my watch, and removed all stickers against my wishes. Advice?
I took my brand new BLNR with stickers (purchased 2/20) to a well known AD in SoCal to size it for my wrist.My plan was to size it and put it back into the safe to hold on to. Possibly wearing during special events, or maybe around the house when feeling saucy, but definitely keeping stickers on and definitely keeping the watch in perfect condition.I gave the watch to the person at the counter, who handed it off to the tech on duty. While she did this, I mentioned to both of them that I'd like the stickers kept on the watch, but understood if one had to be removed to get links out. We all had a good laugh about wearing a watch with stickers, and the tech took it into the back.About 5 minutes of browsing later, I got the watch back, with 2 links taken out and absolutely zero stickers left on the watch. Once I noticed, I immediately turned white. I'm going to stop the story right here and ask, if you were in my position, what would you have done here? Would you have blown up? Woul

Turned 40...Wife always delivers...incoming tomorrow.
Not usually a big fan of long in coming threads, but in this case could not help myself. I turned 40 last month. My wife and I went on a weekend vacation this past weekend, and while we were there she suggested we go in the AD, who we know and have bought multiple watches from, to just check out what they have, since 40 is a big deal apparently. I had mentioned to her that I might be interested in getting a James Cameron deep sea, and I know they've had several in the past. She seemed amenable to that. We walked in, and were immediately met at the door with a hug by the owner we know well, who happens to be from her hometown. Anyway, he proceeds with oh my gosh, your timing is perfect. We just received a watch this morning that we ordered in April of last year, and haven't even logged it into stock yet. It is only the second one of these we have ever received . When he told me what it was, I immediately thought wow, great watch, probably more than wifey would want spent on a timepie
