Hey everyone,

I know the community has grown so much, and a lot is based around selling of inventory. But, the 1st post was about our collections and interest. So, I wanted to show what I've been up to. From 5 watches in March to 18 watches (Present Day).

I started off loving 36mm DJs, but recently turned to GMTs, as that was recommended. I've figured why not give the DD40 a try before attempting to purchase my next dream watch– a plated DD40 Everose Gold Sundust Roman dial. [Finding DD36s are hard to find] I landed a DD40 Everose in Chocolate Roman dial (for a pretty decent deal), which I think I want to replace with a plated one, as I am in-love with it!

Factory Wise:

Usually, I stay with VSF for Rolex, after an issue with my ARF DJ. For Pateks, I've have DDF, VF (RIP), and PPF.

Also, I usually stay with state-side sellers. 12 sellers and have not been scammed, so it is possible to find great sellers in the US.

What are my next purchases:

plated DD40 228235 Everose Gold Sundust dial
plated Daytona 116515LN Everose Gold Chocolate dial
plated Patek 5167R
- may wait for the Free Sprung movement releases

Though, I believe, I will chill out for a little bit.

Let me know if you have any questions I can answer about lessons learned or let me know what you think I should do differently!
