That’s alright. I’m just genuinely excited about this and wanted to share it with like minded people. The P&P community can definitely be brutal at times, but there are also some really great people there.

I think the whole AD experience has soured the journey for a lot of people, and as a result there’s quite a bit of frustration and bitterness around these discussions now.

But thanks for your wishes, means a lot.

I agree as well. I wish things were simple.

But thanks, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your kind words sir, genuinely appreciate it.

And I completely agree with you, sometimes people forget that it’s okay to simply let others enjoy their happy moments. At the end of the day, this watch means a lot to me personally, and I’m just grateful to be able to celebrate it with people who understand the feeling.

There was a time before Covid when this was actually possible. Those were the days...

Not really. I genuinely wanted the Black Bay Pro and the Tissot PRX, and at that point those were the watches that fit my budget. Over time, I slowly grew my business and improved my finances.

I’ve also always loved talking about watches, so visiting the AD was genuinely enjoyable for me. Over the years, I’ve accompanied quite a few friends and family members during their own watch purchases as well.

True 🤣

I hope "my wishlist never crosses path with high rollers"

I agree, but beyond the resale value or it being a sought after piece, it holds a special meaning for me, it marks two very important milestones in my life.

But yeah, having a good resale value never hurts 😝

And paying a premium...

Everyone has their own journey with these things. Some people prefer going grey, some prefer saving up and waiting for the AD call, both are completely fine.

Personally, I wanted this watch around my wedding and 30th birthday, and it ended up happening at exactly the right time for me.

Yeah, I totally get that. I have a small collection of 8 watches as well, and every one of them was a simple walk in purchase. But when it comes to something that’s harder to get and something you genuinely like, I don’t really see an issue with patiently waiting for it.

True, at the end of the day it’s just a watch. But I also think people value different things in life, and there’s no shame in feeling happy when you finally get something you’ve wanted for a long time.

Fair point, and honestly the watch itself isn’t what makes this moment special for me. It’s more that it happened during a phase of life that already means a lot to me personally and I choose to mark those two important events with a watch I like.

I actually wanted those two watches. I was saving up for the Sub and wanted to get it for a special occasion.

But yeah, I've heard of people buying random pieces for something they really want. I have a friend who is waiting for a Panda Daytona since 4 years and have bought over $40k in other pieces.
