I think I can help. Breath slowly, concentrate, remove your Am Ex card, purchase the new GMT II [ss or tt], send it to me, and I promise you'll be out of danger.

I have heard a good number of stories from the local AD regarding 'sober' issues. People walking back to the store the next day asking when (and how much did they pay) they bought the watch

Based on your story that it's fortunate for you being sober that time and the lifestyle with all women, drinks, etc. I guess it's just a matter of time that you will eventually fall in the trap. Sorry man..

That means either get it now or forget it. It's better to come now to the AD being sober than later being drunk with a woman and end up buying her Lady Datejust and none for you but an empty pocket.

Yep. A few years ago I was sent to Nassau for 8 weeks to do a consulting gig for their Ministry of Education. Worked out of the British Colonial hotel, and it was tough to hit the elevator every morning wearing a shirt and tie while all the vacationing girls weren't wearing a whole lot of anything.
