I bought a BB58 on a canvas back in April it hoping to get on the “list” of explorer 36. The sale lady didn’t even write down anything or react too much. A few months later I went into the same AD trying to also express interest on 36 DJ and finally got a sale associate’s phone number. Which he only replied once saying “received“. 

Funny enough, I really really like my BB58 and stop thinking about even getting anything else from AD. The AD game is just not for me I suppose.

Conclusion, only buy the BB58 if you really like it, enjoy it and wear it. 

(Plot twist, recently I found my perfect watch Grand Seiko SBGN005. Which I forfeited a trade with Watchbox for it and went with BB58 in April. Image having my favorite watch 6 months sooner if not for the AD game)
