On September 27, 2021, I placed an order with my local AD for a matching DJ36. It arrived 6 months and 14 days later on April 9, 2022.

I tried so hard to surprise Agladee and worked out the details with the SA. Under the ruse that my watch was too loose, I asked Agladee go to with me to resize my watch. However, Agladee had other plans. She wanted to paint the bathroom! She showed me the paint, the brushes, and the trays

I told her that I was trying to surprise her and that she was messing it all up So, I reluctantly told her that her Rolex is here and we needed
to go pick it up. Her face lit up and she had a beautiful smile

And now without any further ado, here are the pictures. Please enjoy!

The Champagne vending machine is another painful reminder that I need a new AD. Ideally one that doesn't mirror the aesthetics of a late 80's mall.

The local AD moved out of the mall and set up shop across the street. It is much better. They have a beautiful lounge on the second floor. That is where the champagne vending machine is located.
