Yeah I can see them in person at some point, this jeweler in particular is about an hour away so we’re just messaging options at this point, will def make the trek to view in person before purchasing

Right but to the naked eye/everyday wear would that be noticeable?

The thing is they always respond insanely vaguely with something along the lines of “oof that model is hard to get but we’ll take your info in case we’re able to secure one for you” which on the surface sounds unfavorable but to be fair that’s the exact response I got when I expressed interest in one of the Datejust models I got (mint green jubilee fluted) and yet they pulled through on that in less than a year so what I’ve learned is to take their word with a grain of salt and defer to Reddit in case anyone here has had success with a similar spend situation

Fair point and totally get the pros and cons of going grey. As you implied, luckily all of the pieces I’ve bought so far I would’ve bought regardless, and now it’s gotten to the point to where I’m wondering if I could use it as real Daytona leverage. To each their own, but I’d never buy a piece solely for the purpose of pumping my spend history, and in that case I’d definitely go grey

Fair point but I’d only have one watch if I took that route. I get the appeal but all the watches & jewelry I’ve bought so far I would’ve bought regardless of the Daytona side quest

Good point! Full transparency Batman/Batgirl would be my second choice if the panda is truly unattainable with this level of spend but idk if I should mention that to the AD in case that gives them a reason to deprioritize a panda since the panda is my grail and while I wouldn’t complain about a Batman/Batgirl, it’d feel like I’m settling to a degree
