Congratulations! Seems many ADs received shipments last week. The sub might be possible for some fast folks on the prowl.

Awesome! Welcome to the club! Where are you located in MS and what AD did you score it from? My brother got a 116610 and I got a 114060 from the same AD on the same day back in December. We also bought each of our wives a watch for Christmas. 4 watches the same day!

Congrats! As it stands that's not the easiest watch to find new at an AD, who would have thought...

I'm in MS, too. It's funny you post this because you and I almost competed for the same watch! I had called shortly after you. The sales associate kindly informed me they only had a no-date Sub left because a gentleman was driving 3 hours to come pick up the date model!

Wow. What a small world. She told me that another person called 15 minutes after me inquiring about the watch. Crazy!
