You ever had some spare time, were driving around, looked up and saw your favorite AD
And glanced down at your Rolex and said to yourself, "Self, I've got a few minutes. Let me drop in and see what's new."?

That's what I did today. They had just put out a BLNR.



Considering I bought the better half a Hulk about three weeks ago, whew, it's been a crazy June.

Lol, I swear. I had a meeting in a place down the street & finished up early. I should have turned right when I left the meeting, but had to turn left due to construction. And I go half a mile down the road and I'm like, "Hey, my favorite AD is right up on the corner. I oughta stop."

And the rest, as they say, is history.

I've done the same thing with my last two Rolexs... both
impulse" buys - it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time...(and the watches being in stock - of course) so enjoy the moment... and the watches...

cheers

Some would say, that was meant to be. Congrats on the BLNR, I have to say I saw one of these at the boutique store yesterday and it is a beauty.

Well, my AD was about two miles down the street from where I now live and was less than a mile from where I used to live and about a block from my bank, so I had plenty occasions to drop in on a whim. Sadly, they are now closed.

In fact, it was on one of those spontaneous visits that I was informed that the BLNR was expected very soon, so I put my name on it by posting a 50% down payment.

A few weeks later, it was on my wrist.

Actually, there were several such situations.
