Just got the Call (email actually)

It took 469 days, but today was the day. I casually checked my email and saw an email titled "Guess what I have for you!"

To say I'm excited would be an understatement. As a licensed Professional Engineer a Milgauss Z Blue has been a goal of mine for many years. I put myself on "the list" in anticipation of my 40th birthday. I missed my 40th Birthday (last summer) and sweated through two watches and wonders hoping the watch wasnt discontinued.

I am scheduled to pick it up at the open tomorrow morning. Pics will come then.

Box and papers bRo!

Congrats.

Just put a request in for a piece to commemorate my 40th in October to mitigate missing out.

Congratulations! You deserve it! Professional watches should be made available to people like you without any waiting. What a shame but glad you finally getting it.

Congrats! I love the blue dial version. I've been waiting over a year for my sub and my 50th came and went yesterday with no watch. I emailed my SA and he said they are aren't getting much and are still working through the backlog. I hope I get the call sometime this summer. I'm definitely going to talk to the other two ADs here in my area.

In defense of my AD and sales advisor, she did say that they only saw like two Z blues a year pass through the store (its not a sub obviously). I figured there was a VIP or two ahead of me on the "list". She had reached out at Christmas to say that I was 100% getting the next one they received. It was just a matter of time.
