My AD story, featuring an “Incoming!”

So I guess my story is not unlike a bunch of others, but figured I’d share anyway!

I posted here about a month ago about establishing a relationship with a new AD and got a bunch of awesome tips from the community, which in a nutshell, advised to spend some $$ if attempting to get some serious consideration. I had some non-Rolex purchases in mind (Cartier for wife, new wedding band for self) that I figured I’d make there weeks apart, with the primary purposes of getting things I’ve been wanting to get for a while, but with an ulterior, perhaps, of quickly building the relationship.

Linked up with a super awesome SA who put me on “the list” for a couple of pieces I wanted (Sky blue, Sub Date, OP green) after the Cartier purchase. But I figured it would be a long while before I got called on anything. Went in yesterday, essentially three weeks after being put on the list, to get sized for my band, and the super awesome SA surprised me with a 126610LV! From what I read, those are pretty difficult to come by at retail so I was a little shocked. I’m picking it up early next week and will post some pics!

But I guess the moral of my story for those on a list is that YMMV; buying stuff definitely helps, as we all know, but of course only buys things you really want!

Great story and pickup. It’s refreshing to hear of someone having reasonable expectations and being ‘rewarded’ unexpectedly.

Enjoy and can’t wait for pics
