Incoming! 126600

Just picked this baby up last night after getting the call earlier in the day.

Backstory:

Back in June/July I had updated my wishlist at my mom n pop AD where I already have a decent spend history with ( 5 Rolex, 4 Tudors, a Cartier and IWC) over the last 5 or so years. Followed up last week and was told demand is still really high and there were no increases in allocations yet.

In August, on a whim while at the mall had put in a request with a large multibrand AD and noted it was an occasion to celebrate a new job and promotion. I connected with her on LinkedIn, followed up via email a couple times...most recent being two weeks ago.

Then bam yesterday I got the call that my first choice was in. My second choice was the 124060.

So I finished up my last conf call and went down to fork over my hard earned cash.

I never expected to get a call from them before. I was totally shocked since I had absolutely zero spend history and they came through before my AD did.

Before my info would have gone into the circular folder.

Big congrats!

As you and I have discussed privately, I'm waiting on this very reference, from our mutual friend. (OP and share a sales rep at our local AD). No luck here either. So, I too have expanded my horizons (although not at the mall, maybe I should try there) at another local AD. Hopefully I'll have better luck there.

Looks great on you.

I see you're from PA like I am. Was this from an AD at KOP?

Congratulations!
