I waited 5 years saving up for this watch to commemorate 20 years of service with my employer. The colors have a special significance to me and my career. It was a big milestone and my SA and AD came through to make it happen for me. This reference is EPIC!

Congrats on the 20 years. 20 years for the same employer, your boss should have sourced and gifted this watch to you. 2 decades of loyal service to the same company is hard to come by.

I am embarrassed to admit it but 3 days.

The owner of the AD wanted to help me commemorate the milestone so he made it happen. They have the watches. Funny part is the store manager told me “yeah right I have tons of people waiting for that watch”. My SA is solid gold. Been a customer of his for 14 years. I’m loyal.

No. I was saving my money the last 5 years for it. Once I told the AD I was ready to go I got it in 3 days. Just got super lucky. I’ve bought 4 other watches from them over the past 14 years.
