AD incoming!

A welcome surprise from my AD during my weekly display case check! Couldn’t be happier, the 41mm reference is exceptional.

It’s a new relationship and they took real care to make sure I wasn’t a flipper. I could tell they wanted to make sure the watches are going to people that truly enjoy them. From initial contact to delivery was 66 days.



41mm Sub C

Gratz!

Did you happen to pop in and find it in a display case, or did they gave you the call?

Either way, a mere 2 months wait for a 41 Sub Date is phenomenal by today's standards!

[mention]Gekota [/mention] Thanks! The gist was they want to see your face, not just a name on a list. I made it a point to stop in weekly on Wednesday’s and chat. It wasn’t a bother since there was a Starbucks I go to anyway and they’re genuinely nice to talk with.

I came in today and it was laid out ready to be sized.

Great experience.

The staff at the AD must really like you, and that's great! You will likely have an easier time acquiring hard to get pieces as compared to others.

I can say with absolute certainty that this definitely does not happen often, at least not in recent times, unless your AD has a really good impression of you.

Fantastic watch and it really suits you.

I take this as a complement. Thank you!

Yep, most of the flippers go to Dunkin’. Smart move!

They either really like you or they got tired of seeing you every Wednesday!

Just kidding! Congratulations on a great watch.

Congrats! It's a great watch. I still think the 116610 looked and felt great, but the new one is a continuation of a living legend. Enjoy it!
