Incoming: My AD really surprised me with this one!

Sometimes you really get surprised with someone's thoughtfulness and today I received one of the most shocking phone calls ever!

Long story short, I've been battling cancer this year and have recently finished my chemo treatments a few weeks ago. I've keep in good contact with my sales associate that I have a great relationship with throughout this whole cancer disaster and she called me to offer a piece to celebrate finishing treatment with!

To say I was shocked and thankful would be an understatement. I'm not a high roller by any means and know she had to pull some serious strings to offer me this.

I'm forever grateful!

And now... drumroll... behold my new GMT Master II 126710BLNR!

Never has a "Wear it in good health!" comment more warranted then this thread.

Congrats on both accounts!
