Another Surprise!!
My AD called and asked if I could stop by the store. I hadn’t been in for at least a few months, thought he may have a cool little gift or something.
Went by yesterday and after talking about the state of the market for Patek and Rolex and the difficulty obtaining desirable pieces, he said he had something in the safe for me. After a few minutes he came back and said that he remembered be talking about this piece last spring. I can’t stress enough the importance of establishing a good relationship with a local AD if you want hard to get pieces. Frequent the store, make as many purchases from them. This will go a long way. Enough of me rambling, here’s what you’re waiting for... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So nice. Congrats.
But this is more than just a good relationship. You haven’t been there in months. And you didn’t even tell them you wanted it. You mentioned interest. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m pumped for you. And you are baller status, which I respect greatly. I’m working on it myself. This watch is just fantastic. And I’m thrilled for you. But you earned this in many ways, on many levels. Huge congrats all around.

Congrats, and I second your advice! I’m certain I landed a 5712 bc of my AD relationship which extended beyond just purchase history.

I’ve been really lucky. Bought a PAM California that I thought was kind of cool a few years back, some modest jewelry for my wife, some random accessories and an IWC.I try to refer all my friends to the store as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Excellent acquisition. The 5164 has been growing on me lately and just wish my AD would surprise me similar to your episode
