Apologies in advance for the long winded post.
The first watch that got me to an AD and had me considering spending a ludicrous amount of money on a watch was the 116610LV. That green sunburst dial stuck with me and not too long after I returned to the store to discuss purchasing one. Through a series of events I ended up getting a BLNR instead.
The SubLV stuck with me though, so when rumours started that it may be discontinued I realised I had to fast track my plans to get one. I ended up selling 2 ETA BBN and a Planet Ocean, put my name down with the AD where I got the BLNR and waited. Anyway with the SS shortage my chances were looking slim and another AD I spoke to wanted to do package deal etc etc. I spread my net quite a bit further and this past Monday morning at 07:30 "I missed the call"
Got hold of the AD later and organised to come and get my SubLV.
This involved an early Saturday morning, 2 hour flight. A mate who is a fellow WIS got me from the airport and took me to the AD. We got to try on the BB GMT as well (lovely watch) and I FINALLY got my 116610LV. Sized it late last night and I am loving it! Once I have some daylight I will set about removing all the stickers. I think I got the clasp centered pretty nicely. 7 inch wrist, so I removed one link from each size and it seems to have done the trick. Some pics to make up for the long winded post:
