Today I took the morning off to go to the AD and speak with the manager about the confusion concerning the GMT II that I want to see/buy...

Usually I always do business with him but since it has been busy at work and such... It just so happoned that every time I called of visited he was off..
Bad luck I guess.. This meant that I would do business with one of the staff whom I all know....I thought that this would be no problem... Anyways.....

Starting a few weeks ago, It was arranged that I could see a GMT II when it came in (+/- four days) because the GMT that was in stock had just been sold..

A number of days later I received a call from one of the staff that the watch was no longer available. Frustrated I called the manager (my AD) and he said that one of the staff had aranged another GMT to be sent.. Ok I thought..OK he thought as well!. IT was to arrive this past tuesday... Well you guessed it..tuesday, my telefoon rang and yes my intuition was correct.. The GMT was sold before it was dispatched and there were no more to be found.. Just a TT version... Expensive!!!! I informed about the next delivery... That would be mid feb I was told...

This morning I made the trip to the city,, Should be working but my frustations were not letting me concentrate so I decided that it was best to get to the bottom of the story ard relieve my watch obsession...

First of all, I expressed my dismay...about being held on a string two times. I did'nt appreciate this sort of 'get you excited and then burst the bubble' kind of business. He apologised and told me that the GMT II is selling in large numbers and everybody is trying to get them... Why they did'nt? simple...the staff AD's were not applying the necessary means to secure one! At that, He made a call to the branch which still had one on hold for someone else....The last mind you.....

The AD got on the phone with the other branch AD and explained that his customer (me) would buy NOW and that the watch should be sent without delay...(the two AD's are buddies so it was easily arranged) The other AD had the watch on hold now more then a week and had to let it go...

Well I left with a big smile on my face as my AD now assured me that the much in demand GMT IIC would be in on tuesday!!! I left a deposite to ensure the 2009 price..
Had the watch already been sold then the next delivery from Rolex headquarters is planned for mid march!!!! At that point the GMT would be more expensive as the prices will have been applied by then,, thats what I was told.....

Sorry for my rambelings...Im just excited!!!

I did however try the TT version and fell in love with the new GMT II concept.. Its definitly a GREAT Rolex and a PERFECT stablemate for my DJ II..
A weeks wait...I can handle that!!!.
