When one door closes another one opens..

Did anyone else get the rejection letter from M.A.D1? It feels the exact same way as when I got my rejection letter from city college. Ah well time to start hunting for my end game piece...

I guess they can't make them for the masses 🤷‍♂️

Denied, that’s okay, I’ll keep trying, it’ll just be a bonus if it comes through.

Now I'm interested. Which one is your grail watch? 😇

Honestly my grail has always been a Panerai submersible but I don't feel comfortable spending that much so maybe the radiomir base logo or the new tudor monochrome. We'll have to see as I have not tried on either.

Indeed, an amazing and impressive watch. 👏

Tudor monochrome is definitely my next one , even though I own the BB58 in blue

Ivy League schools are easier to get into. Not a big deal though. I'd love to get one just to check it out but I don't think it would end up sticking in the collection.

My fierce wife tried to humour me a few years ago when I was having a terrible time dealing with the crowds, heat and generally Paris society when we decided to spend a weekend there to recharge our batteries, no shopping planned but the end of June is when the shops are allowed to start their summer sales, predictably my wife broke our promise. I was nursing a cold drink at a cafe in Galeries Lafayette waiting for the Mrs to finish up one more purchase when she suggested we visit the watch boutiques in the fabulous mall including the Panerai shop where a lovely Mandarin/ French speaking sales agent showed us a few different models including a ceramic bezel Submersible which both the Mrs and I really liked but it was crazy money, could not justify the price especially since we had just received a text from younger daughter that her longtime friend had ordered a special ring waiting to chat when we returned, Yikes a summer wedding to pay for. Sorry long post but my wife promised me a Sub in Paris when she retires from her gig as a finance company director. I don’t have a grail but that could be a nice exit watch. Love your occasional real life posts. Have a great day!

I think the same way keeps disappointment at arms length then if we are lucky it's a bigger win 👍

Apparently my brother entered the raffle on my behalf and got rejected. But he won last year, so it was expected I suppose. But don't be discouraged. I heard they are making an edition especially for those unlucky ones who didn't win in previous raffles. This colorful one, I wouldn't wear even if max busser himself asked me to.

Honestly I think this watch is ugly AF. Sorry. Not drinking the cool ade.

This particular or they all? I think red one looks bot. Green meh... Blue also meh. This current edition belongs next to the pride flag on the white house balcony
