That is SO COOL! Congratulations.

I'm not knocking you in anyway as I am searching for a Hulk at an AD as we speak. Just funny what a hold Rolex has on the market.
Agree. Just feeding the hype fire.

That is a great story, and huge congratulations! The biggest pleasure I have had over the years of buying/selling watches, is the wonderful relationship I have formed with various ADs. And I have also made a couple of good friends in the process.

There is no greater pleasure to me than picking up a brand new watch from an AD. I have not always been offered a discount, depending upon the brand/model, but I have never been let down by service. Sometimes, I have been offered a healthy discount. Regardless, I can go into any AD where I am known, and spend as much time as I like looking at watches and chatting.

Obviously, your rapport with your AD has been a splendid one as well, and I am sure it will continue. Enjoy that Sub!

Cheers,
Carl

Congrats. Every time I enter an AD and ask about SS pieces they usually present me with...a blank face (-;
