My luckiest day ever

[lady yachtmaster]

I hope all of you enjoy this story as much as I will enjoy telling it. Last week I was on a cruise to several Caribbean Islands including St. Thomas. I have been on a waiting list with my AD for a SS Daytona white face, however, he has no idea when/if one will come in. Any way, our ship pulls into port and for some strange reason it is not the same port that I have been in before. Meaning I usually enter through the main shopping area of St. Thomas, but this ship docked near Charlotte Amalie. We were told that to get to the main shopping area we needed to walk through the little shop area and take a cab. No problem. As we are walking though we notice that A.H. Riise has a Rolex store there. Somewhat smaller than the main store which I had been in on a previous trip. The store is completely empty. I walk in and see a gentleman behind the counter. I said to him with a big smile, you look lonely, so I thought you could use some Company. He says "what can I do for you today" I say you do not have what I want, he says I bet I do. I say, I want a SS Daytona white face. He says, I have one. $9780 out the door with a $50 gift certificate to his store across the way that sells liquor and other things. The lady behind the counter says we are not supposed to sell that one unless you buy another watch, however, you are the nicest customer that has walked through this door in some time. (I'm guessing I was the only customer to walk through the door in some time) I am still pinching myself!
