Explored Vegas - But Won Jackpot at Home!

[Sgooter]

Before heading for a fun week in Las Vegas last Feb, I stopped by my local AD to take a close look at the Explorer II w/ Black dial. As expected, I was shown a presentation piece, but it still looked great. The SA offered to put me on their list for a new one, so I provided my contact details. While in Vegas, I visited every Rolex shop, but no one had any new stock, just presentation pieces. I was added to their wait lists, knowing that if/when they called, I would have to fly into Vegas within 2 days to make the required in-person purchase.
Fast forward now to last Friday: my local AD called to offer me a new black Explorer II, which I picked up yesterday...after being on their wait list for only 2 months.
Last night I placed the watch on the night stand next to my bed to check the Chromalight glow, which was still going strong this morning.
So, I was not lucky in Vegas, but I sure hit the jackpot back home!
