If this was a walk-in it’s the third or fourth story I’ve read of this in the last few days. Congratulations! It could well be that times are changing.

congrats!
i wonder if these are the last batch they are sending out before a potential change (movement obviously, but who knows what else)
as mentioned above, there have been quite a few walk in sub purchases as of late.
enjoy the heck it of it!

Who knows, You may be right. New movement and possibly new case could explain why subs are being so more available lately!

I have a feeling supply will increase with the serious and unfortunate Coronavirus problems in Asia which is keeping folks at home in quarantine plus restricted travel to those areas. My 2 cents.

Those days are long gone. I bought my sub C no date in 2015 from a grey, bnib with my name on the warranty card for $6300!

The 114060 is an awesome reference and my go to summer watch.
