1.5 years later, got the call
Honest ADs still exist, I am so pumped!
In March 2018, directly after the Rolex release at Baselworld, I called my AD for a Ceramic Pepsi GMT... they just called back, I’ll be picking it up on Friday, so excited! And this after I just bought a Vacheron one and a half weeks ago... what a month! Sorry, not really relevant I guess, but just so excited I had to share. Kind regards to all of you Frédéric

Did you buy the Vacheron from the same AD?
Congratulations! |

Hopefully I won't have to wait to long before my AD comes through.

That’s the crazy thing, I did not (afaik they don’t have Vacheron), actually the last watch I bought from them was an Explorer II in early 2016, two years before I even asked about the GMT. That Explorer II was the only watch I ever bought from them so far, but I did try to buy my Navitimer there initially in 2011. Back then, they didn’t have the specific reference anymore and found another store for me where I could get it. To thank them and give them at least part of the business I deliberately bought the Navi on calf (despite wanting a bracelet) and purchased the steel bracelet at their store later on. Perhaps they held that in good memory.
As far as I am concerned, I have nothing but admiration for how this AD operates their business. They certainly will have me back as a loyal client as often as they have a watch I may want to purchase in the future.

You always get the call after you just spent the $ elsewhere! Congrats on your GMT!

Sure will, couldn’t resist sharing a simple phone call here, so imagine what’ll happen on Friday when I actually get the watch ;)

Congrats to you! Nice to have an AD that works for you. My AD has helped me out as well over the last two years. VC is also a great piece no doubt about it. Enjoy!...
