East Coast AP events
Anyone going?

Famous Last Words... "Just dropped by the AD today..."
I told myself only one AP, and I love the steel version that I bought a month ago. It's classy and almost reserved for a ROO.I was talking to my AD, and last week or so, started looking at the other pieces they had.1) The Diver: What a beautiful watch in person. The pictures of it never spoke to me, but in person, the watch is beautiful. The finishing is beautiful and I was smitten by how nice it looked. Especially in a black dial.2) The Bumblebee: Again, a very impressive watch in person. But alas...I couldn't get away from this one.I figure my collection needed one black timepiece, and this checked all the boxes. There are so many layers of black and different textures on this piece that I found myself mesmerized by it. I know everyone says it, but all the carbon APs have to be seen and worn in person to truly appreciate.Thank you to the CARBON ENABLERS here at TRF, hope you are proud to see the results of your efforts.Golden rule: Never go to your AD with an open mind LOL.

Question on a "collectors" piece.
I am graciously falling into a collectors unworn piece from 2004. I think I should buy one similar to it and hold on to the collector and keep it for posterity. Am I being anal or is it normal? I hate to wear it and muck it up when I could easily hold on to it and have a museum piece to keep for a while. Your thoughts?

BLNR or Pepsi
Hi all - I am a new boy and hoping for advice / thoughts.I am in a position to buy a brand new GMT BLNR, but love the Pepsi ( I have tried on an early 2000's model)I have seen a Pepsi (2005) in mint with all original box & papers.My friends tell me the BLNR is the one to buy as its brand new & there are many Pepsi's out there. I am not rich and would hope the watch I choose would accrue so I might pass it on to my children eventually.So what do I do - which might accrue the most and leave my children with a higher inheritance.Any thoughts would help me decide what to do.

36
Sometime in the future, I'm looking to buy a Day Date, but I am already torn between the new style Day Date II with the 41mm case and the original Day Date 36mm.I have a relatively slender wrist of 7 inches, but the new 41mm models fit me surprisingly well. I tried some on today at my AD. I thought that the 41mm DJ and DD would be too big for me, so I thought I would just automatically go with the classic 36mm models... but this was not the case.1. So now I ask, which of the two do YOU prefer?2. Also, please post pics of your Day Dates, as I am also trying to decide between Yellow and White gold and a bright or dark face combination
