One month wait...

[Fomenko]

Last May there was a thread here about a store in the Midwest that had some SS pieces available. It was deleted soon, and because of that I won't mention places or the name of the AD, because it may be not allowed.
The thing is I called them, they said they have a Submariner and a Submariner Date available and I drove there and got my first Rolex (114060). It was a pleasant experience, well worth the drive.
In July my wife had her 50th birthday and I contacted them and bought her a TT 28 mm Datejust. When we were picking it up I mentioned that I'd really like to buy a 116610LV, and one month later they called me and say they got me one! I was traveling then, so I asked them to hold it for me, and last Saturday I went there to pick it up. Paid MSRP plus taxes, which were less than half the IL tax, and I got my brand new Hulk!
My whole relationship with this AD is 3 to 4 months old, and I've spent around $ 16,000 when they got me my LV. I just wanted to tell my story because it doesn't seem to be so difficult to get these pieces as some members write here. I would never pay 13 or 14k for this watch, but $ 9,050 seems fair!
