Enough for me to write about it and forever turn the other way:

------

Your previous message:
Hello,

I'm looking for a M serial number or newer. Do any of your platinum 16622 meet that?

Thanks!

beckertime:
Thank you for your email. We do not have any M series available...my apologies.

Your previous message:
Thank you for the response. Which serials (letter) do you have available?

beckertime:
Thank you for your email. We have early 2000 models available.

Your previous message:
What counts as early 2000s? I would guess that many of your Rolex buyers would appreciate this specific information over a vague range of year reference. Especially given your reputation.

2006 D OR Z
2005 D
2005 F
2004 F
2003 F
2002 Y
2001 K OR Y
2000 K,000,001
2000 P,000,001

beckertime:
Early 2000's is 2000-2003.

I might "Turn Sour" too if you said to me "Especially given your reputation."

Ouch. Effective and responsive communication is a two way street.

That poster is correct, the conversation did turn sour, with his condescending remarks at the end. Now I understand!

I actually meant that as a compliment with 27k+ purchases - but I see what you mean how that comes across poor on my part

Lol I’m sorry, but how is that ‘going sour’? Perhaps he has multiple within the 2000-2003 timeframe?
