Only PM they had was a 126655, which happens to be on a short list of my grails.

SA offers to pay tax after a few minutes of
trying it on. Looks like discounts can still be had on PM.

He and I talk it over on the side. I ask him if he really likes it. He is stunned by it. Told him no brainer then. Out the door for MSRP.
No prior history with this AD, as he got his BLNR from me.

Wonderful piece! Looks great on him. It’s lovely you two could go in together and come out with a piece like that!

Cheers.

Wow, thanks again to all for the nice comments!
I just read them all to my Dad, and he was humbled.
He said he likes it even more today than yesterday.
Here’s a couple more pics. That matte dial is awesome.

Wow, I'm jealous! That is hopefully my next Rolex. I really kick myself for not buying it when it could be had at just about every AD for 20G.....(that's not an investment comment, lol, merely a I could have saved a ton on my grail)
