Icon20 New Sub. I had to pull the trigger.

I bought Tudor GMT for my son's college graduate gift last May. I told AD, I wanted Root Beer or Sky Dweller since I had Date Just from 25 years ago for wedding.
I left for business trip on May 6th and got text message when I landed saying Sub is available for me if interested. I texted back saying I'd like to check it out but I wouldn't be coming back till the first week of June.
Last week, he texted me saying the Sub is still available.
So, I stopped by and tried. Wife and son told me go ahead... So I bought it for me for 25th year anniversary and Fathers day gift.
It's hard to pass even if it was not expected. When my son finishes his medical school, I guess Sub will go to his wrist in four years...

On the same time, a guy bought Sub non-date model. I guess Subs are easy to get??

How can you go wrong??? I detest the last 5 year “desperation fomo” buying. It’s nice to see some buying just because it’s the right model.

That’s a long time for a Sub to linger at an AD. It’s happening??

Congratulations! I guess different ADs have different processes. I ask to order one after getting my datejust and they told me that there was a 9 year waitlist to get everyone a sub that wanted one.
