I wanted to try their new sandwich that's become all the latest frenzy. Supposedly it beats Chick-Fil-A hands down. Unfortunately, they were out of sandwiches . . . . , well, it turns out that my Rolex AD is just a few blocks down the street, and I decided to stop in and say hello. Turns out they had this beauty in stock! One thing led to another, and . . . .

I really love the matte dial and the phantom hands. Great piece!

mmalek1 · 2 September 2019, 08:37 AM

Congrats, I actually just contacted my AD for one as well today.

brandrea · 2 September 2019, 08:38 AM

Congratulations on a great reference

I’d like to know what the waitlist time is like for the sandwich

Speedfreek28 · 2 September 2019, 08:38 AM

That’s an expensive a$$ sandwich you go there! But unexpected surprises are the best.

nationalrobert · 2 September 2019, 08:39 AM

Fantastic pick up, sorry about the sandwich.
I'm on a list for a black dial too.
Maybe I should travel out of town to find one elsewhere.

News flash:

A trip to Popeye's results in a Rolex purchase. The victim is elated, story at 11.

nationalrobert · 2 September 2019, 08:44 AM

I'm gonna try that with my wife.
Come home $9000 poorer
But Honey I was trying to get a sandwich.

Well done! Leave for a chicken sandwich quest, return with an Explorer. The America Dream right there... at least mine.

Dr. Robert · 2 September 2019, 08:57 AM

Good choice, the watch is much healthier than that sandwich

uniqueMR · 2 September 2019, 09:02 AM

Congrats

Pw92676 · 2 September 2019, 09:05 AM

Congrats. And FYI they have sandwiches available in the back for those who bundle :)

THC · 2 September 2019, 09:15 AM

I live down here where Popeyes all started.. I have had a few of these sandwiches. The only difference is the bun has a little sweetener in the bread... Hawaiian rolls, if anyone is familiar with these, is similar

Great watch OP

Mwilsey103 · 2 September 2019, 09:24 AM

Great catch. I stop at Wixton’s every other month or so. Guess it’s time to increase the frequency of my visits

zaflying · 2 September 2019, 09:27 AM

In MN? Used to shop in rf moeller and Ben bridge in MOA when I was in MN. Missed MN a lot!

Did the Popeyes manager put your name on his list without requiring a deposit?

It is a good sandwich.....but I think Popeyes is using a similar model to Rolex. A chicken joint that cant keep up with chicken sandwich production??? How long till you have to buy a bucket of mild wings to be blessed with the opportunity to buy a sandwich at MSRP??? How long till people are reselling sandwiches for over MSRP with the wrapper removed???

RichM · 2 September 2019, 10:16 AM

Congratulations

scubadds · 2 September 2019, 10:17 AM

Enjoy in good health!

I grabbed the same watch Friday.
You will love it!

Art 1 · 2 September 2019, 10:26 AM

Nice. I prefer Chic Fil A though.

eco8gator · 2 September 2019, 10:31 AM

I had a Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich along with red beans and rice and fresh squeezed lemonade this week. The price was less than $8; I feel they could easily charge more since the product is so damn good.

Best fast food chicken sandwich I have ever tasted...leagues better than the typical soggy Chick-filet sandwiches.

Nice pick up!

avusblue · 2 September 2019, 10:36 AM

Thanks for the kind words, gents! Keep 'em coming!

Here's a family photo:

Plus one with a few interlopers.....

Cheers!

justjay82 · 2 September 2019, 10:47 AM

That’s lovely. Congrats.

fishingbear · 2 September 2019, 10:47 AM

Very nice watch, congrats! The sandwich doesn’t even compare to Chick-fil-A.

Boaters · 2 September 2019, 10:50 AM

And Yousa WOW what a score big congrats
