Incoming......with no strings attached help by Alan (alpine 24)

First off, I would like to say that Alan is a true gentleman....a real enthusiast doing good things to help fellow TFers. His deeds restored my faith in the watch community, especially in a group this big.

Been looking for DSSD JC for a while, on a list at 2 ADs but with weak purchase histories. Then I started browsing this forum and kept seeing this Alan guy helping out fellow TFers acquire CHNRs. So I pm'd him and said he'll see what he can do since I'm asking for a more realistic piece (not like I'm asking for a daytona or blue sky-D). Luckily he only lives an hour away, so I met with him. 3 months later got the call from him just in time before the price increase.

Too good to be true right? What's the catch?.....Nothing, no catch whatsoever. Paid using my own CC under my name. He doesn't ask anything in return, just a plain "thank you". Even met at the AD yesterday to pick it up. I can see the genuine joy he gets from helping others.

Now, his inbox might get full of requests after this post. But keep in mind, you must be local. And keep an eye on his post as he usually offer items here. First come first served. There's an AD list then there's Alan's list, and I hope I'm on top for the next BLRO

Big congrats, OP! Alan got me into my CHNR, which I wear about 95% of the time. He is a godsend on this forum, and a truly great person. Glad to see he was able to help another lucky member.

And fyi if you're reading this, Alan - I still haven't gotten a single call from any of the AD's I inquired about the CHNR with almost one year later, so what you're doing makes a huge impact.
