The sub story, part deux

Part one, or un (or maybe it's une, I didn't do well in French) is here, but I was afraid if I updated the thread, too many people wouldn't get beyond the first post and would reply out of context.

Yesterday my AD texted me to ask if I still wanted the sub. Sure, why not?

Long story short (summary of part one) he got one in December, asked me if I wanted it, I said yes, then someone else in the store sold it before I could come get it. So he promised me the next one.

His word is good, he remembered, and I picked it up yesterday. Looks nice.

He asked, "what's next" and I said BLRO. He checked his list (I saw) it and I can report that:

- there actually is a list.
- I am on it.
- I am not #1 but neither am I #200
- I am not holding my breath

Pics or it didn't happen, right?

As a 114060 owner For almost exactly a year, that’s a damn good question! The only thing I sometimes wish for is the date, but not on this particular piece. It is extremely versatile and never feels out of place.

Part One in French becomes Première Partie:-)
As for your part two “Deuxième Partie” I can say that the sub NaDate looks so awesome on your wrist. Congratulations.
Now we have to wait for La Troisième Partie in order to see your BLRO that I hope you’ll have it sooner than you think.

Tsk, tsk, so young and already so cynical.

No way would he have embarrassed himself like that just for an extra $400.
