Incoming, finally

My AD really came through for me. It was such a nice surprise. As soon as he sent me a text just asking me how my day was going, I knew today was the day. He simply said you might want to stop by the store because I might have some thing for you. Of course I said sure. I gave him a list not too long ago with two watches I really wanted. I didn’t want to be disappointed so I mentally prepared myself for the one that I wanted the least. However, It ended up being the piece I’ve been wanting the most.

Today was a good day.

I don’t really feel comfortable saying exactly how long I waited or exactly how much I spent at the A.D. I do think that if you haven’t spent considerable money with the A.D. you will be waiting a long time or maybe forever.

As a general rule of thumb I would say that if there are a couple of precious metal pieces that you want and you tell your A.D. about all of the stainless stuff you want while you’re buying it, you will probably get this watch very quickly. If you don’t really wanna buy other pieces to get what you want, then I would not get this watch from an A.D. I would just pay the going market rate.

Very well said, and my experience is the same at my AD.
