Incoming. AD called

So my AD called and I was hoping it was my BLNR or BLRO. Sad to say it was not. That said, I was not to sad for long, as he wanted to offer me another timepiece from the vault. He said a the client that requested it was unable to purchase (no additional info provided, nor did I ask). He then went on to tell me about a GS SBGE245 132 of 600 and asked if I knew about it. I told him I had seen it and loved the look of the dial and bezel. He asked if I was interested. Of course I am, was my reply. Asked him to keep in vault until Monday and I will pick it up. So happy, so now I am cutting myself off watch buying until BLRO or BLRN call... Will post pics on Monday. Here is a pic from interwebz (not my watch)...

Such a cool watch. One that I want,
But sadly probably won’t get. I have other watches before that one.

Ok so must correct stupid mistake. All this time I have been saying 132/600. Soooo, my dyslexia must have jumbled things up cause I just took a pic of watch back and it is 123/600. Of course I thought the AD wrote down wrong on warranty papers, so went to check and NOPE! Just my own mind messing things up. 123 is a cool number!

If I we’re in a scooter gang, I’d let you keep your watch, but I’d snatch that cap without a second thought.
