Incomings...still in shock.
Driving for Thanksgiving travel I knew I would be passing a few ADs. Called a few and nothing, as expected. I decided to make one more call to one a little further out of the way and they had a BLNR just come in....and he said it was mine if I could make it that day to buy face to face! Told him I would be there in a few hours.
I honestly was half convinced I was being pranked or there was a miscommunication so I set myself up to be disappointed. Sure enough when I get there he offers a drink, goes to the safe, returns with a BLNR and puts it on my wrist. Extremely pleasant guy and really took pride in providing a good experience. Just when I am thinking how extremely lucky I am the day takes an even crazier turn....As I am looking down at my wrist to admire the BLNR I notice that in the case below me there is an SD4k sitting there. I was excited because I had let my SD43 go because it was a bit too big for me and have been looking for an excellent condition pre-owned SD4K. This one looked flawless! I asked him if it had box and papers and if so how much factory warranty is left. He looks at me like I am kidding and says of course it has box and papers and it has a full warranty because it’s NEW. I about choked on my drink. He said he is as shocked as I am it is there. I mean for all I know this could be one of the last, or maybe the last SD4K sitting new in an AD’s case. Long story short, a decision to make one extra call to an AD along the way and I ended up with a new SD4K and BLNR at MSRP! I love the watches and am still in complete disbelief. I feel like I now need to ditch family thanksgiving and fly straight to Vegas....       Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
