SUCCESS - Can you walk into an AD and walk out with a 2020 Sub? YES!

It's not my personal style to post "incomings"... but, I wanted to share this in hopes that some of you who are seeking "hard-to-acquire" pieces can feel inspired, motivated, and galvanized.

No purchase history at all with this AD... but, I would concede I have been appropriately vetted and qualified.

Walked in without an appointment, was in the right place at the right time, bypassed hundreds of VIPs and preferred customers on the “waitlist,” and purchased the new 126613LB Blue SS/YG Submariner.

No filters applied to these pictures.

Great shots - and if you’re going to wear a watch by the pool then that’s the one to wear!

Thanks for sharing the success story.

Beautiful watch, nice cap off to this lost summer. Not one of the high demand models but still equally stunning and fortuitous to find at random. Huge congratulations.

I like that gold blue combo. I'd probably not have it has my main daily driver. In my head..I call it the Subaru because it's Subaru WRX colors. If they had red/pink accents or hands it would be perfect!

I used to see old bluesy time to time in the display case. Its the SS ones that are really hard to get.

Congratulations and wear it in good health.

I bet I would have flunked that one. "Before you ask, no, we don't replace batteries in watches. You want what? I have no idea. You might find Timex in a department store."

SUCCESS - Can you walk into an AD and walk out with a 2020 Sub? YES!

Thought he was going to tell us he went in with a mask on and a shotgun!

To the OPs benefit, I know my AD well and there is a long list for a bluesy. They also don’t get as many in. But I get it SS more popular.
