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

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

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.
