2021 The Year of My First PP!

Long story short, my long time befriended SA just informed me that i should get my first PP (Aquanaut) .... THIS YEAR!!!
I can NOT wait!
It's been a rodeo, but damn I do hope it's for real...

First PP as a Aquanaut! That’s very lucky. Do you have a purchase history of non-PP with this SA/AD?

Welcome to the club, Aquanaut is an incredible watch. You don't feel it at all on the wrist and it flies totally under the radar.

Let's say I was almost first in line for a Nautilus back then when it was supposed to be a 6 month wait that turned to a few years that turned to "no history, no purchase"...
So I shifted my request to an Aquanaut which was couple years back, no history, just keeping a good relation with the SA that is passionate like me... Few visits and tries of different watches!
Patience is key, and being always nice, even when being turned down ;)

Congrats. Same as you I was told to be the next back then but after I was told I need to wait for another 4 to 6 more yrs and no guarantee etc. So I gave up.
