Interesting Incoming story!
Yesterday I decided that I would finally try and get my name down for a Milgauss 116400GV after posting a thread and seeing so many great photos and stories.
I went to an AD I haven’t been to before and told the SA that I was really keen on Milgauss. I have no sales history with this AD. He listened for a while then interrogated me a bit about the watch- why did I want it, what about the Milgauss was it that made me want it etc. He excused himself for a few minutes and came back with this! Needless to say at MSRP I bit his hand off!!  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Thats the way it should be. Congrats. Very similar to my Sub story in June. We must be very, very likable!
 Oh and I love it the way the Rolex Haters, who usually don't even own a Rolex so not sure why they are even here other than to stir the pot, will ignore this story and every other "Incoming" from an AD post. Trolls gonna Troll I guess!!! |

Wow, I realize your case is anecdotal, but I'm really glad these "miracles" still happen to people. I definitely do not see this happening around where I live, at least from my experience! Congrats, nonetheless.

On the other.....? Your story, speficially the part about the "dealers interogation" reminds me all too much of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine interviews a boyfriend to make sure he is worthy of a hard to get contraceptive. Are we at the point where dealers insist on questioning if a customer is worthy of a particular model? If so, I think Im done with the brand until things go back to the days where you could walk into AD and walk out with pretty much anything you wanted at MSRP or maybe even a slight discount.... |

Big congrats, it's a thoroughly unique watch. Handsome and sporty, too. And the resistance to magnetic fields is a bonus. Hope you thoroughly enjoy it. Mine says hello.
