Thats hours, not years..Incoming!!

[Easy E]

Once upon a time, in the not so distant past, I had a SA that did a really good job taking care of my watch requests. Not everything I sked for, but pretty close. He moved on to stake his claim in real estate, I still keep in touch with him, that relationship became more of a personal relationship than one of a simple transactional nature. He left the AD maybe 2 yrs ago. On his way out, he did his best to hand me off to another long time SA. While she is super nice, I always get the vibe that, ultimately, she could care less if I took my next breath. To contrast the varied treatment my SA friend shipped me a BB58 Blue without even telling me, it arrived at my office the day in was announced publicly. Yes, that was risky for him to assume, but it was all good. The current SA still has yet to get me a Tudor Chrono Panda, because they “just don’t get that many.” I have purchased something in the neighborhood of 8 or 9 Rolex, 5 Tudors, multiple straps and bracelets for each brand, and a few small pieces of jewelry for my wife and oldest daughter from this store.

I have finally talked myself into something a little extra for this year and about a week ago I called and asked SA2 about a DD40. She said that it was likely to take years. Years? I asked. Yes, very long wait for that, she claims. Ok, fine, do you have much of a wait for a YG Skydweller? Yes, that is also years. Huh….ok. Well I would also like to reiterate my request for a LV sub. Yeah, she says, that is also going to take years, too. I see. Well how about the WG Blue Sub that SA1 supposedly ordered for me before he left? Yeah, that also is going to take years, I’m afraid. At that point I made it clear it already has been years, 3 in fact. She then says (again) “We just don’t get that many and the owner decides who gets them.” So, you have received one, just not for me? Well, yes. Gotcha, thanks.

Fortunately, there are others out there that have a different perspective. Yesterday at 2:15pm EST I called DSW stated my interest and made an offer. Exactly 27 hrs, 17 mins later(not that I was counting) this bad daddy MOAT (mother of all timepieces) is now rocking a new home. This is my first full PM piece and what watch it is! I suppose on one hand I am glad my AD is so busy that they don’t need or care about my business, but on the other hand is now a Day Date. Sorry sister, that’s hours, not years.

As for the WG Sub? Check back in a week or two……
