Got the call for a surprise!
Got a call from my BT Manager today asking me if I wanted to make a trip out to see them as he has a surprise waiting for me.

I'm already scheduled to fly out there the second week in November to attend their One Drop model preview dinner and charity event. He asked if I wanted to pick it up before or wait until then. I said I'll have to wait as my schedule is packed and will have to enjoy the suspense for three agonizing weeks.


I didn't even ask him which model the surprise was. Want to keep it a real surprise. I figure there is only two models currently on my ask list right now and hopefully it's one of those, 16202st and CE Openworked.

I'm assuming it's the Jumbo, but we'll see in a few weeks.
Now the wait and suspense begins.....

The call totally made my day and super excited for D-day to arrive!

It's definitely been a great year for my AP collection. This will make 3 for me and 1 for the wife this year.

How rude of you. Not only do you have to wait in suspense but you’re making us do so as well

Congrats and can’t wait to see

The suspense! Early congrats on another amazing incoming! It will be epic if it’s the ce openworked, as I heard it’s discontinued now and surely it’ll be one of the last few being allocated

I highly doubt it for 2 reasons. I don't think I qualify for a tourby yet and a CODE has not been on my ask list.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I'm sure it's a minimal likelihood.

Could you ask your SA to post on this thread what it is he has waiting for you please? And you'll just have from refraining visiting this again...

If you can wait 3 weeks - I can't!

Getting a jumbo itself would be quite amazing. Openworked is even crazier

Definitely had that happen with some ADs. "We have this great piece allocated for you"and upon further inquiry it turns out it's something I never asked for
(this did not happen with AP)
