Day Date Ombre Incoming!
So I was on the golf course last week and had my phone on silent to avoid work. We had a rain delay so while I was waiting I pulled out my phone to check things. A minute after i pulled it out I received a call from my AD. I had just stopped by there 3 days ago to check the status of 2 watches I was waiting for. One was a Pepsi GMT which I have been waiting for a year and a half. I was told that would probably be at least another 12-18 months. The other watch was a Day Date WG Blue Roman. I had been waiting for that for about 6 months and was told that would be another 12-24 months. My AD said hey funny timing that you were just in but we got a watch in your were looking for. My heart is racing on which one it was going to be. He said its a WG...Day Date...Blue Roman...Ombre! I'm like holy smokes! I originally wanted the plain blue roman dial but I took this one without hesitation. These last few days have been torture! Oh and in Kentucky we get bourbon instead of whiskey during delivery!

Congrats and enjoy it in the best of health! IMO, the blue on the ombre dial is nicer than the on the other reference you originally wanted; i think things turned out perfect for you
