Wow, congrats! Beautiful watch, Tom! Sorry if I missed it, but do you have any history with this AD?

From what I hear people say, you have a slim chance of getting a Blue Sky-Dweller.
But there are few people that got lucky and got one from their AD like @Tom5518 (kudos to you ;) ) Not sure about "waiting lists" too, many of the ADs I went said yes to put my name down. I guess you could try to ask random ADs and maybe you will get lucky. |

Op well done and congratulations.
Also good to know that very few people read the the comments after reading the title or the OP. Very entertaining. |

Reminds me of what the late great Chick Hearn (voice of the Lakers) used to say, when referring to a player with no chance of success.
"He has two chances, slim and none, and slim just left the building."

I have a great relationship with my ad, and it took two years to get one... Only because they didn’t get hardly any in. I’m not a big spender like almost everybody says you have to be, but I do have about a 20 year relationship with him. He is now the GM at a respectably sized AD chain (11 stores in NC and Virginia), and he has been with the same company all along.
Funny part was, he called me on a Batman jubilee I wanted so I went there, while trying on the gmt, he brought out a blue sky, and then said, I could only have one... I ended up with the SD lol.

And saying "I'd happily spend $100k in a year if you had all of the popular watches that I want and could likely turn a profit on" is just as crazy as the AD saying it takes $100k to get on that list...especially because that list is made up of people who spend $100k every year, not just in 1 year to buy the most popular few SS Rolexes out there and then be content. |

I'm sure it has happened before but my feelings are that chances would be very slim of it happening at best.
