Got the call today for my first ever!
Ive been on a couple lists for just a short time frame so it was totally unexpected that I got the call today. My first watch is going to be The Hulk! Snow is moving into the area but if I can get there tomorrow it will be mine. This after a BLNR deal fell through on me just yesterday, I was pretty tore up. Cool thing is the AD said I was local, a business owner and had actually stopped in the store to talk to them to prove I wasn't trying to flip so Im the guy that got the call. Told him to keep me on the BLNR list and maybe, just maybe I can talk him into putting me on the list for a ...... oh crap, I cant even say it. At 53 years of age having admired the date just and TT blue submariner my entire life its finally happening!

Doc, I found a BLNR that was used on Craigs List. Don't laugh yet. It was described as brand new never sized and had been in his safe for two years. I could tell by the email language it was someone that sounded mature and honestly did not sound like a scammer at all. After he listed his demands (it was a no BS deal), I told him I only had one demand, we meet at an AD so they can open it and verify authenticity. Id give him cash immediately (btw, it was $7,000). He said no problem, he only wanted a safe place and told me where he bought the watch and when but his plans hadn't worked out so he was going to let it go. Then later said I was actually number 2. He messed up got confused and told another guy before me that he was first in line. By the wording I really believed him, too much information to be an average scammer. If he was, he was a damn good one! Anyway, he was to let me know if it fell through today and I haven't heard from him. But, Im getting the HULK as my first and thats kinda how I wanted it anyhow.

Yes. That failed craigslist deal sounds like a blessing in disguise to me. $7000 for a BLNR that was never worn for 2yrs. Yea right!
