NWA sprite, panda, celebration in 2 months
It has been a long journey since the beginning of 2023. I have shown interest in a left-handed GMT, and finally received a call about two months ago. However, they only had the model with an Oyster strap, so you rejected it. After waiting three weeks, they called me again and said they had the Jubilee version available.

Not long after that, they called me again, saying they had something special ready for me to pick up. They didn't tell me what it was, and I was worried it might be an expensive item, like a diamond bezel or a platinum watch. However, it turned out to be a 126500 Panda model, which has become my daily watch.

One week later, they called me again, but this time, they requested me to bring my wife. I was unsure why they kept asking when I could come with my wife. When we arrived, they surprised us with a 36mm OP Celebration watch. my wife had been asking for this watch since last year, originally requesting the turquoise color. However, when the Celebration release came out last year, she immediately switched her wishlist to this model, and now she has it.


Thanks so much to my sales and AD
