Major congrats! Whatever your wife did at the AD it definitely works, I'm jealous as I've been waiting three years from the local authorized dealer.

Am not sure what 'favors' my wife would have to do for the local AD, yet Mayors must work in some 'alternative' if you even think you'll actually receive... been on the Daytona list for at least three years and the Pepsi list literally seconds after it was announced, still nothing.

Maybe wife does need to stop in to Mayors and give the manager some special favors I guess, but not sure if I really want her to do that just for a watch. Maybe somebody here dated somebody at Mayors for special favors, would love to know if that's what it takes.

Congrats!

My wife has went to bat for me as well. She said the AD took all info down w/ THE DAY, and put a huge star at the bottom along w/ B-DAY in all caps.

Hopefully a good sign.

Sounds promising, Good luck! I never thought she would have a chance but she never had a doubt. Sometimes people just do a nice thing. Good luck!

Congrats on the Daytona!

I think she knew what you wanted for your 50th and she got her name on the list a long time ago :)

I know this topic has been beaten to death already, but there’s no such thing as a list... The closest thing would be a list of VIP customers.

Mayors is one of the biggest ADs in the country in terms of multiple locations and amount of models they receive. My friend, who is a huge spender, was on the “list” for the SS Daytona for couple months before he got the call and again couple months wait before he got the call for the BLRO at Mayors...

Mayors is going to give the hot watches to their VIP customers first, no matter how fast you got on the “list” or how long you’ve waited. Sorry for the bad news.

Maybe smaller ADs work differently, but not huge ADs with tons of high spending customers.
