Congrats to the OP for the uplifting story -- it definitely gives a glimmer of hope to those who don't necesarily have a deep-rooted relationship with an AD.

Why is this surprising? Every single existing Rolex customer was a new customer at one point.

Some AD's are starting to hedge their bets a little, like any business they are trying to forecast the future, I am not saying walk in and get what you want but a small percentage are just moving them on.

They are like everyone a little worried.

Congrats solid.

For those who have the wrist for a SD43, and you do, it's such a cool, rugged watch. Congrats, OP.

Very nice, major congrats! If you get bored of it, you could sell it for a profit and purchase what you really want (Explorer 2 or CHNR, or so it seems from your initial post)

That’s awesome, congrats!

The only problem with the SD43 is that now you don’t really need any other watches.

Same that one gets HAMMERED with tourists. That mall has an absurd amount of traffic, which makes this situation even more unlikely! But I got a no date sub and turqoise op41 both within a 12 month period with no prior relationship with my AD so miracles do happen!

Congrats OP, watches are that much more special when they have a crazy story like this

Amazing story and thanks for sharing. I had my watch in a similar fashion, people say they wait for months and I got it (touch-wood) in a few days.

Sometimes you just get lucky.
