AD Anniversary Surprise!
Just thought I’d share a happy AD win for my wife…….on her first Rolex. She’s a jewelry fan, but has never much been into watches. Last April however, at our AD’s annual watch event she made a hard 180 and fell in love with an OP36 in black. So, as you all are familiar with the process, we registered interest and the wait began.
About a week before Christmas I reached out to my SA about the likelihood of the watch being available for Christmas. But unfortunately no dice. So, planning our 17th anniversary, I asked if there was any way possible to have the watch by 1/26. SA said no promises but he’d do his best. Fast forward to this morning. Wife and I had just hopped on the freeway to head to Chicago for the weekend. A few miles before we got to the exit for my AD, I quietly thought, “man, it would be awesome if Aaron would text me today.” Mind you, it was 10:03am and the AD had only been open for 3 minutes. Six minutes later, I get a text, “Happy anniversary, when do you leave for Chicago?” I can’t make this stuff up. I’m trying not to get too hyped, as perhaps he’s just wishing us a good trip. But I can’t shake the phrasing. I responded that we were already on the road and would be back on Saturday evening. I slow to a crawl on the freeway, hoping for a follow up text. Nine excruciating minutes later, Aaron sends a pic of the watch and says, “Come see me when you get back for your wife’s gift.” YES!!! I responded quickly that we were only 15 minutes past the store and we were turning around! What a great start to the anniversary weekend! My AD and SA have always been amazing to work with and this was just such a perfect surprise. He came through in such a clutch way. My wife even got more swag than I ever get. lol Thanks for letting me share the experience with you all.

That's awesome! Fits her perfect and I'm sure she's over the moon with the watch and experience.

So awesome. Hope she loves it!
Got a luck of draw purchase from my AD the day before my 4 year anniversary. My wife was floored with her new watch! Stories about the timing and luck of the purchase make it so much more special. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats to her, and happy anniversary! Your story sounds similar to mine, except she fell in love with the 32mm size, and we had to wait much longer for it to come in. Congrats again.
