Bouquet of flowers says I love you. I would not do that but demonstrating your appreciation and keeping the relationship with the AD going is very important as you say. Some Godiva chocolates or a very nice bottle of wine or Champaign would be more appropriate IMO. Try explaining to the wife why you’re giving the sales lady flowers.

Yes!! I won't be someone spending $90k + at a boutique or a VIP by any chance, and I let her know that initially. It's very nice to see its possible to get one of these!

Thank you so much! i'm loving it especially that I never thought I'd get one! Loving the Macan GTS as well, good value and a great car!

Thank you! I'm amazed myself that it actually happened. I've been very patient and purchased one watch that ended up with my uncle, I only wanted to purchase it to start a relationship. I know I'm very lucky and blessed to get the watch, I couldn't thank that lady enough, she definitely made my Christmas!! It is possible thou, with some patience and being kind to people it can happen!!

Just takes time man, I've been after a watch for over a year and a half. I've come across so much stuff in the meantime.

the silver lining is that the pepsi better matches the red deviated stitching on your GTS than the batman ;) I'm waiting for a GMT myself. Congrats! stellar piece
