Made Order Today

So ended up ordering a hulk via my local ad today. They said december so lets see what happens. Tried on some ever rose as I was gonna go with new gmt but looked too pink to me.

First sales lady wouldn't take an order for me, she was just in the middle of "wont order anything for someone without prior business" right as my normal sales lady got back from break. She walked in right when I was saying "i have purchased watches here before" lol

Don't blame her, I look basically homeless and walk into the place with 2 little kids, probably not the best way to shop!

Anyways lets see how long the sub takes to get in.

Also tried on an original explorer, such a cool piece

ADs can’t actually order an LV as they’re allocation pieces.
Hope it comes soon, it’s an amazing watch.

No list, ordered per ad, not sure of the nuances of allocation vs ordered, but I guess they technically are asking for allocation? Who knows, don’t care, let’s see if it hits December

I don’t get the run around from my sales person, she just say yes or no and gives me an idea of reality, sky dweller, Pepsi go on some bs list, green sub, I’ll order one for you she said, no different than standard sub it seemed

Made Order Today

Congrats! They had it in the safe 100%. Your rep probably didn’t want to embarrass the other rep by pulling it out after you were told you can’t order one.

Put it on a card as a bridge and pay it off once you sell the DJ. This pains me to see you pass on it!

That’s incredibly fast. Your AD takes great care of you. May not be a popular opinion here, but if my AD did that for me, I’d almost be inclined to get my AD a thank you gift to show my appreciation!
