Weirdest watch you ever owned
Literally, this was my biggest mistake in 40 years (or more) of collecting:Now let's see yours

This may be expensive
I stopped by my local AD yesterday to try on SS Daytona with the white face. Well no shocker they didn't have one in. So the lady behind the counter asks if I am familiar with AP. I say yes and we walk over to the AP counter. She pulls out a SS ROC with the white face... I think I am in love... I had just reached a point where the 12K on the Daytona was sounding like a good idea, but I think if I go that route now I will be left wanting. sorry for the bad pic

Old school Breitling Navitimer
Given to me by my father.The second of his two nice watches he ever bought.This one he bought as he used to fly.He owned a Single Prop back when I was young, wantedme to learn to fly and was going to give me the plane...After a couple lessons I realized I liked to party too muchand didn't like to get up that early (this was when I was incollege and high school) but most importantly I just didn'tlike being in control of the plane... I am a great passengerbut don't wanna have the stick...I wear it a couple times a month, it is not my typical stylewatch but I like it and always get compliments on it.IF anyone here knows more about the history of this modelI'd love to hear...

Visited 4 AD¡¯s in South Florida this week...
While looking for a new Rolex for my wife¡¯s up coming birthday, this week I stopped by four different AD¡¯s in South Florida.While at each store I also asked about the availability of the elusive GMT 116710 BLNR. While each stored had great inventory none had the BLNR in stock.This is what I experienced:Mayors said they had none in their system but could order one directly through Rolex and could have it in 3-4 weeks with a 20% refundable deposit. I asked if I put a larger deposit or paid in full if I could get it quicker and he said no as it still takes 3-4 weeks to get it from Geneva.Weston Jewelers said they had one come in on Wed. but was sold very quickly as they worked their way down their waiting list. He said no deposit required.JR Dunn laughed and said that their waiting list was very very long but since I bought two watches from them two years ago I would get priority ranking over someone who hadn¡¯t made a purchase. He said they haven¡¯t had a BLNR in their store in four months
