Hello!
Hello TRF!
My search for a gift for my father's birthday lead me to TRF. I was never a big watch guy, and neither is my father. While for me it was a matter of interest, my father never had the option to have such an "expensive" hobby. He is the most urnest and hardworking man I have known in my entire life, and I have the utmost respect for him. I chose to gift him an Oyster Perpetual in White dial, which is currently on order with an AD. I purchased from a local AD who wouldn't budge on the price, so I paid MSRP and full state tax (they did throw in a Wolf winder so it helps a bit I guess). It's a nice family owned store, and I thought I try to establish a relationship with them, for potential future purchases (after learning SS sport models and very hard to come by). Plus, I can take my father into the store for pick up and bracelet sizing on the spot, the whole experience, so I was happy to pay. However, the whole wait-list or having to require a relationship with AD (to purchase SS models at MSRP) has driven me away from wanting a new sub/sea-dweller. So I have decided that I want to take some time and search for a nice DJ for myself. TRF has been a good source of information (i.e. I decided to look for 116234 with hidden clasp, after learning the new DJ's have oyster clasp). Looking forward to becoming part of the community. Thanks for having me, cheers! |
