18 days? Well: That was fast. I'm in the club!

My mother just got the call to pick up my 2020 Submariner Date 41mm 126610LN Rolex! Unfortunately, I live outside of the country and won't be able to get my hands on it until June 2023, when I travel to the U.S. I'm excited. I can't believe it. 18 days? I thought Rolexes were hard to get--especially the Submariner Date? I'll update you with pics when she gets it. A question about storage and tipping. How should my Mom store my Sub for the next seven months? Obviously, in a reasonably cool room, correct? Call me an idiot, but will anything happen to the watch? Anything else I need to know? Also, she mentioned tipping the AD because he told her he's off on Saturday, Nov 5th but will come in to give her the watch. Should we tip him? Is it common to tip ADs? The guy's been incredible to her and, of course, me. But then I read they make about 48 g's a year, plus the markup for most Rolexes is 40%!? Thanks for your help, Forum members. And, this will be my first Rolex. Ever.
