Congratulations :) great to see
Another local being looked after ...

I take it it was one of the local Goldsmiths stores that have looked after you?

It is an amazing reference. I also have the submariner 116610ln and while that one holds a lot of sentimental value I cannot seem to take this one off the wrist. Congrats and wear in good health. Mine also says hello!

My AD told me that they offered me the Hulk and Batman because they were sure I would not flip them. They were right.

Last Thursday I went into an AD with my Air-King on thr 116900. With the busy dial my first rolex. Spoke with the main man in the AD talked about the current situation with lists and that my favourite watch is the rootbeer. We then went through how long it would take to get various models such as hulks, new batman and stainless daytona.

AD said that they were now looking at people differant and choosing people who won't buy a watch to flip. AD mentioned that they have even blacklisted some.who have been buying for local jewellers to sell on. He said the list for the CHNR would be a minimum of 6 months but more likely 18

At the end of our conversation I asked if I could be put on the list for a CHNR as it's my dream watch. The AD said I like it when I make people's dreams come true.

So today at work I got the call a CHNR had come in and as far as he was concerned it had my name on it.

So an afternoon off.rush to the bank and a trip to the AD I am now the proud owner of the most beautiful watch I have seen a rose gold and steel masterpiece...
Dreams do come true five days after chatting to an AD ..can't believe it ..I am well happy

Your story is very similar to my AD and how they choose to allocate their stock.

Got the chance to try one of these a few months ago and I have to say, pictures do it no justice!
