5 years seems like an unsurprising time to wait for a hot model watch like that with low purchase history.

Great to hear that some ADs / SA don't operate solely on greed in today's environment.

The future of the brand depends on it. If backdoor sales, bundling, marking up, ... continues I imagine many like myself who are long term fans (30 yrs +/-) will move on to other brands.

I'd be more worried about banging it against one of the metal polls/bars if the bus stopped short.

So I think the relationship is the most important in order to get the watch you want. Also be patient!



Yes, I took the bus home. I live close by AD.

No, I don’t have a lot of purchase history. I don’t really remember how many years I had waited. Probably over 5 years. However, I work with this SA for over 8 years. Even though I don’t have a lot of purchase history, but I always refer her to a lot of friends!



It’s a very beautiful watch in person!
This is one of my favourite pics of all on this site. New Daytona going home on the bus. Full respect and congratulations!
Better than the watch pics with a Ferrari stearing wheel!
