It looks like it was in the safe room all along and it was being saved for someone 'special'. Did you introduce yourself as a pilot? :) The connection could have been made then and the rest as you know would be history. Congrats and wear it in good health! :)

Yeah we talked for awhile before he let me know he had one in the back. I told him how and why I became interested in the piece, the history of Pan Am commissioning it for its pilots , how my grandfather was an Eastern pilot etc.. When I was purchasing he let me know they needed approval for every SS Rolex they sell and they knew I was a genuine enthusiast who loved the piece.

They are definitely screening but the watches are out there

Looks great, we have a CA who has a BLNR but got it brushed, definitely tones down the bling!
