20+ Years in the making
Couple weeks back my grail finally arrived sure the actually wait time was only about 6 months and the AD could have offered this to 15 other clients she said who are VVIP's a I do live in Vancouver. But her and I have a great relationship and she knew my birthday had just passed.
To me it was another marking on this journey it took to acquire this piece. Some luck and determination. When I first saw the DD in magazines and movies I always wanted one. Coming from far below middle class with some times no power even to the house, phone etc. I always dreamed big still and never accepted my surroundings. Some people make timepiece purchases to mark a birth, wedding, grad etc. A guy like me this resembles do not give up and just believe in yourself

Congratulations! I bought the same one a couple of years ago after wanting one the first time I saw a Day-Date back in 1979.

Congrats!
Which AD did you get it from? I checked out GWC Rolex Boutique on Alberni Street when I visited Vancouver 2 years ago (I am in Toronto). It is a nice store and the people are nice. |
