Well, last weekend anyway.
Is it wrong that it has only been a week and i already feel naked without it?

Thank you.
I saw one in a non local shop window years ago but wasn't able to try it on as i had the dog and wife with me. Haven't been able to get it out of my mind since.

I saw another one 1 year later but it wasn't local and i was taking the wife for dinner on her 30th so again wasn't suicidal enough to try it on

This year i persuaded her to go for a "day trip" in the hopes it might still be there and then Corona happened so i was starting to think it would never happen.

I finally bit the bullet and went to my local AD and asked her order it.

"Asked" for it on the Sat 4th July - was told they rarely get them in olive but if i wanted another colour she would normally except a 1 month wait

On the Tuesday after she had spoken to Rolex she sounded genuinely heart broken when she rang me and told me it would unfortunately be 4 to 6 months but she would email me the confirmation details.

2 weeks later i was writing her an email as i was worried she had sent it to the wrong address. To my shock she rang me half way through to tell me she had it in her hands!!

I doubt i will be this lucky when i tell her i think i want a Sub next
