Well, today I was on the road (unusual, huh??) as I was driving close to my AD. About 1 kilometer away, I get an e-mail on my BlackBerry. It was from them. Suggestion: to stop by.
As I park and walk (ok, ok, RUN) towards their store, I had to make a quick stop at the Swatch store. My son was with me and he wanted a new strap for his watch. That is a L O T of color!!! |

After purchasing a new blue strap with the swatch logo, I continue on my trail. AH! AD in the distance!!!
There is ALWAYS time to snap a picture of the front display So I walk in. As I wait for my favorite staff to finish a phone call, I look at their display, WOW! Nice selection! I tried the GV Milgauss and the white dial one; collection of other beauties was nice as well!! |

It has been for some years, a VERY comfortable watch! They had just received shipping from Rolex, they had a L O T of things (including YG and WG subs, RG daytonas, all milgauss, etc.) I try to do my best! |

So she finishes her call, sees me and smiles. Now she walks towards me with a BOX in her hands!! I start sweating and then she says the magic words: we have something for you.
I will spare the closed box, semi open box, partial look and other pics. This is what they had for me today Yes, a new 2T sub, ceramic, black dial! Within 10 minutes, they hand me the screwdriver set and allow me to 'do the honors' as always. Now, it's 10:38 at night and I am reporting to my 'online family' with a new Rollie in my wrist. So far, weight is impressive, and the new clasp....AMAZING!!!!!!!! I am sorry I did not make a 'full trip' report, I was supposed to pick this in 2 weeks, not today. To all other ceramic sub owners: this baby ROCKS!!!!! |

I was shaking while I was reading it!
Seriously, thanks for taking us along on an AD call. Felt like I was getting a new watch too.
