I Got "The Call"
I was driving to my next job today when my phone rings. I noticed the number was out of State, but which State HMMMM! I didn't recognize it but I picked up and a lovely ladies voice on the other end asks if I am Felly. I say yes and she says that she is so and so from brand X jewlery store and that we had spoke a month or so ago about some Rolex watches. (my pulse quickens) Yes, I do remember you I said. And the next words out of her mouth made my Millenium. What do you think she said? Yes, your absolutely right, she proceeded to tell me that her home office had just received a white dial SS Daytona and it was mine if I wanted it. So I told her I'd have to think it over............NOT!! Needless to say it is on it's way to me. It will be about a week and a half due to the slow Registered Mail, but I'll take slow but sure over fast and "is it gonna really get there". Anyhow, I'm just beside myself in glee and anticipation!
Thanks for listening! PS Yes, I got it at MSRP ($7,900), no charge for shipping and got it before the price increase! Yeah BABY! |

AWESOME!!!!!
I've been waiting to read news like this for a while. It does seem like it's been a while doesn't it? And to think that you'll get it before the "I heard from my AD" price increase! So, what kind of history do you have with this AD? I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering what it took to get this FABULOUS watch. CONGRATS again! Can't wait for the pictures!!!! |

I wonder if TK saw the post earlier about the black dial SS Daytona sitting in an AD's case? Maybe someone should hook him up!
