They Hit The Number - Now What?
I've been on the verge of a new watch for the past 3 months. Kept my eyes on the for sale forum. Traded emails with a TRF trusted seller I've purchased from before. Was planning to set the deal and send a wire transfer by Friday.
Early this morning I stopped by my local AD. They had the same watch in their case. Cue the sales guy. I give him a number that is very low. I tell him that number would move the watch from their case to my wrist. I know there's no way he get there. Off he goes. 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes later back he comes. Full of apologies for taking so long. Looks me straight in the eye and "HITS THE NUMBER". WHAAAAAAT!!!!! Now what???? AHHHH ..... So I do what any self repecting WIS would do ....... I shake his hand and left with this

Rick, you did exactly what all of us want to do - you found the best watch for the best price and even surprised yourself ! A double dip blessing ! ! ! !
It's gorgeous. Enjoy. The one you were considering buying will probably be sold in no time. |

The Blue Dial is very nice. I almost bought this model too but end up choosing the TT Gold version instead. Congrats!
