Great story! Thank you for sharing. Best part is I’m sure it’ll be utilized as it was originally intended for.

Big believer of what you put into the universe you get back.

Great pick up! I spoke to my AD today and I have to say, I'm thinking I have to go grey....it's sad when I've bought 3 Rolex and dropped a good sum over a 18 year relationship.

Wow. Huge congrats. Love the fact of how you did it

Maybe I should try the same approach with my A D versus the typical madness. Maybe I will get bunches more...

Seriously major congrats. Happy for you

Congratulations OP, that's really cool.

I think every pilot should be allowed to buy one GMT from an AD with no conditions whatsoever. I mean it was designed for you guys, to start with. Pro divers should also be allowed to get one Sub from an AD at retail, no shenanigans.
