Incoming... perfect 2 watch collection

I got the call yesterday from not one, but two ADs that I put my name down for a SubC within 5 minutes of each other! I was behind about 10 people at both locations, but since it’s my birthday this week the SAs pulled strings and moved me to the top of the list! Friday’s must be Rolex delivery days since both ADs called at the same time. I went to the one closest to me to pick up, and someone else after me got the call for the other. It was a major shipment day since there was a line of those picking up that got the call. Two tone CHNR, white Daytona, BLRO, RSC pick ups, and they had a couple other coffins in the pick up room so not sure what else. Plus the displays were filled back up, two tone blue Sub was the only semi SS sports in the display, rest we’re PM sports, OPs, and your usuals. One guy’s pick up (didn’t see what) was on the phone yelling at his credit card company after his card was declined yelling “do you know how long I’ve waited for this!” Lol. He was still on the phone 30 min after we left.

I waited exactly a month for this stunner, and 2 months after I got my Explorer. I’d call my collection complete... for now. SubC for weekends and outdoor FL life, EXP1 for work, travel, and dressing up.

Beauty congrats!

Not sure how I feel about you jumping over many others, but it’s a great piece.

True but that was the AD’s call, I’m guessing.

Nice pickup, OP. 2 great pieces! They are different enough, to justify both.

I didn't know until I was picking up, that was the AD's call and a birthday surprise for me. A very nice gesture, I wasn't expecting it.

Stopped by today to say thank you again and they had a EXP2 Polar and Blue 40 YM in the case that were not there last night... possible no shows from yesterday's deliveries.
