New Bluesy… here is my story

Ok guys. Here is my story…

Walked into my local AD last weekend and started talking to the manager about a SS DJ 41 and put my name down on the list.

Today, I went back and was chatting with him and said I really liked the TT subs and he was showing the the TT black one that was a display model. I mentioned I like it but want the blue one - he asked me if I had seen it in person and I said no, just in pictures (since there was not one on exhibit).

He said one sec, walked in the back and came back and said here, try this on.. I did. Said I loved it, and asked if he would take me off the SS DJ list and try to get me the TT blue sub.

He grinned, looked at the watch I was holding, and said “it’s yours” with a grin. He mentioned that they do not actually put a lot of the and stock watches they have on the display,  but rather they “take care of their own”….

So anyway, I walked out of the store with a zero wait time with a brand new 41 mm bluesy!!!!!

Congratulations! I keep hoping that my AD will walk into the back and bring out a new Rolex, but it's always a bottle of water.

Absolutely!

I will when I get back home, but I try to attach them on my phone. It says the pictures are too large.

Congrats on the watch! It’s a very beautiful watch. There is a reason why they didn’t put the bluesy out, and it has a lot to do with the one that was in the display case.
