Incoming!

Got an unexpected call today from a local dealer...had been on the list for about a year.

I had been in several times to chat but had no previous buying history with them.

Very happy with it obviously. One hunt concluded, onto the next hunt!

Amazing!

At least you're honest to yourself about there being a next hunt.

Congrats on the white Daytona, Pete! Very glad to hear it worked out for you -- one year wait with no prior purchase history sounds pretty swell to me. Enjoy the watch! I need some of your luck!

Congratulations on your beautiful new white DaytonaC! A year is not a bad wait and probably helped that you paid regular visits with your AD to touch bases. ADs generally want their clients to be happy and probably sensed your sincerity. Well done and enjoy wearing your DaytonaC in good health. Cheers!

Congrats. It's funny, was out to dinner with some friends last week after getting my Daytona C and we were talking about how my wife wasn't happy with another watch purchase. My friend said, "Well you had to buy it, it's your grail." To which I responded, "Well it WAS my grail. Once you own it, it's no longer your grail and you have to find a new grail."

Thanks...the owner did say that the fact that they "knew" me from several visits and I worked and lived locally made a difference...they seemed extremely wary of flippers.
