Last month after a long wait, my local AD came through with a Sub; the wife bought it for me. Maybe two years ago (???) I was in a different local AD and put my name on the list there for a Sub. I've been a customer of both, but I am by no means a whale.

Just today, the second AD emails me to say that my sub has arrived if I want it. I had to pass.

I thought about buying it for a flip, but I see that there are several for sale here in this forum, and given the hassles of selling and figuring out insured shipping, it's hardly worth the hassle.

I'll share the name, just in case there is someone local... Finks at North Hills, Raleigh. Ask for Kitty, if you want to. Tell her Michael sent you.

Odds are there is someone else next on the list that wants it, and it's already gone, but you never know.

That’s awesome and mighty nice gesture. I wish I could get a call!

Yeah I got a sub and a blue Milgaus in the last year. I figure when guys like me get “the call” the market is softening. But hey, new watches.

Great to see

I’ll add, last watch I bought at an AD was because a member shared a lead like this. It was a YM37 for my wife.

I spoke to Kitty a few weeks ago while on business in Raleigh. Good to hear more people are getting calls.
