Finally, Incoming for a good friend of mine!

First off, I want to share how grateful I am for this community. It’s great to have a place to share pictures, stories, experiences, and laughs with others who share the hobby. None of my friends care at all for watches. They don’t get my fascination with the hobby and how much I enjoy it.

All but one friend who always showed some level of interest. Over the past couple of years he’s seen how much I enjoyed getting the Rolex’s I have, sharing Instagram reels of different interesting looking watches, and said he was open to buying one someday. He recently said he was ready and looking forward to buying one. He expressed interest in the Tudor Pelagos 39. I called my AD who I have a great relationship with and she said to swing by with him to pick it up. The rest is history and I couldn’t be happier for him. I enjoyed the experience and felt like I was getting a new watch as well!

You're going end up being quite the expensive friend for this chap!

Wish him my best and congrats on this phenomenal every day, do-it-all reference.

Congrats to him!

I hope he's not signing up for a GMT/SkyD/Daytona right there... AD will throw that note directly into the trash when you guys leave the store!

Congrats to both of you. Hopefully, he will appreciate (and not regret) that you got him started in this wonderful, but not inexpensive, hobby :)

Thanks everyone, he couldn't be happier. He knows the market and what the current state of watching buying is. AD told him that next time we will be getting him into a Rolex and all he said was that he looks forward to that day.
