Niece birth and 2 extra gifts
My niece was born yesterday.
Im living in Portugal for the past 2 years and came to spend holidays in Brasil and see my niece's birth. In the city my sister lives has one AD wich I decided to take a shot! Despite never have been in the store, went there to check their inventory. As any other AD, nothing in the window. Entered the store and started talking to the sales associate. Told her Im a long time collector and was chasing a Daytona, a blue Skydweller, s/s Pepsi... She just laughed! Then I asked her about the ones that are kept in the safe! She laughed again! They have received them all!!! Hulk, ss Skydweller, Pepsi, Seadweller, Sub, Explorer II... But... NO BUTS!!! I did what I have to do! After a long and hard negotiation, I did it! But wait, I cried a little bit more! And here you go the grand finale pics!   Enviado de meu SM-G965F usando o Tapatalk |

Congrats! You should have picked up the LVc and Pepsi while you were at it to round out the collection.

Holy smokes - you walked into a AD you have never visited before and came out with a blue Sky-dweller and a black Daytona. I'm speechless. I need you on my sales team at work!

Yes, what was the “hard negotiation”??? You’ll pay above MSRP?
