Icon10 Incoming...again!!

Well the AP bug has bitten, and it's getting ugly . First the Diver this week, and now another AP just ordered from my AD--just got off the phone. May not be what people are thinking from my earlier inquiry today.

Here's a clue :

In the BLACK THEMES of the night, the NAVY went on a PANDA SAFARI. They ran into a VOLCANO and noticed a lot of BEES hovering around something that looked like a RUBBER CLAD substance--no, it was more like a CARBON substance. With that they ran back to their boat not even noticing the SKELETON they just passed.

Now the 'bad news'. Quote from AD "AP Distribution in NYC does not have in stock so they are waiting on a shipment from Switzerland and it will be two weeks." But, I am willing to wait (oh man this is going to try my patience) for one so FRESH.

1 week, 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes left

PS - Normally I would never post this early, but I can't contain myself--AP is dangerous :-)

I hated to do it...but it's going to be worth it. Fresh sealed AP straight from Switzerland via AP NYC Distribution center. Now which one...stay tuned. Very excited.

Just checked with AD today, and he said another 10 days or so. The issue is AP Distribution in NYC has zero of these and they are awaiting stock from Switzerland. Once they get it, they ship to AD...so your guess is as good as mine.
