Incoming: after years of waiting, got the call on this beauty!

To my fellow TRF'ers...

Haven't been on my favorite forum for a while (busy with life), but something very good happened yesterday and I am just excited to share the good news with you all, and perhaps help keep the hope alive.

I got the happy call (well, text) of 'Are you available? I have something that you might be interested in.' ... so made an appointment for Monday and went to AD (Rolex Boutique in San Jose Valley Fair mall) to see my fantastic sales associate. She says 'I have something that I thought you might be interested... just wanted you to come see it and see if you want it... no pressure... if you don't like it you don't like it... you don't have to take it'. She walks to the back to bring the mystery watch in a large presentation box. While she was gone I looked at my wife, shaking my head in disappointment and saying 'shoot, it is not a Daytona'. SA comes back with the same 'just see if you like it, no harm done if you don't want it, you know, no pressure!' and I am like ok, ok, just open the box and let me see...

[Edit: adding some info here, been going to this AD since 2000 buying watches for my wife and myself, have had a good relationship with them for all these years, introduced some friends and family to them as well... been asking for a Daytona for about 5+ years and actively really inquired about it consistently in the last two years.]
