Incoming--my sub and gmt needed man's best friend!
Well, a few months back, I had a thread for you guys to help me decide between the snoopy or Daytona. I was excited because my ad informed me he was getting one for me. Long story short, it didn't work out. I was disappointed because I was hoping to have the snoopy for my renewal of vows to my wonderful wife. She loves snoopy and I thought it would be a great choice to share in the experience. That same AD contacted me a few days ago and told me it was a sure thing this time and he didn't forget his promise to keep working on it. Well he was telling the truth and now the snoopy has joined the family. Sorry, but no wrist shots or stickers removed as I promised the wife I would wait and wear it on our celebration together in June.

What's up with these? (He offered me Deepsea Black as well but said will try JC version if I really need one). So, did they have lot of Hulks in stock and after Basel when folks show up they offer them or Rolex produced more to keep folks happy for time being? Your thoughts?
