Double Incoming!

A few months ago, my significant other seems to have caught the bug. She had fallen for the Turquoise OP31. I didn’t think we had a shot as we are by no means VIPs. Somehow, she got the call!

Fast forward a month or so later, I too got the call. I’ve been wanting a GMT complication for a few years since we started traveling more often. I expressed my interest in the Polar Explorer II with my AD several months ago after trying on an exhibition model. I got the call (or text) last week and finally picked it up today! I am beyond excited to have a watch that I can take with me in my travels. I am incredibly grateful to my AD for always coming through!
