Aha, so there we have the reason why we have to wait two years. Because "who knows who" deals.

Congrats, enjoy in good health

I would not be happy being the guy that was supposed to be next on that list, ha ha. Luckily I have no desire to play this game anyway.

Congrats. Don't think it's a good ideal to show the new card with the serial number on it.

You never know "Who Knows Who"
Counting down...
3...
2...
1.....

I predict your inbox is now full with requests for what the next “watch-u-want” should be...

Thanks for a nice story

I agree. For the in-demand pieces, it really is who you know and your relationship forged with the SA or better yet, the owner of the AD. A "wait" list for walk-ins, although possibly true, does not mean it gets honored in that order as they are usually bumped by VIPS. And to be clear, VIPS can be both big spenders and loyal, long-time customers who might just purchase one item every few years from the AD. To the OP, great story, great watch. An all-timer!
