Got the Call ...

I have been waiting almost two years for the GMT II VTNR Sprite. They called and left a message and referred to it as the "Sprite"! So I guess it's official when your AD calls it by the nickname. Anyway, I am out of town for the week so trying to figure out a way to wire them the money while traveling! Will be sure to post pics in a week or so when I finally get my hands on it! Can't wait! Longest I've had to wait on a watch by far.

I've had issues like this when travelling. On 2024 wiring and moving money surely could be easier
