Hi Guys,
I visited one AD last week while traveling, I expressed my interest for a Batman and as a potential second option the new sub No Data.
I got the usual comments: history, get some jewelry for the wife, huge list… etc.

Chatted about 1 hr with the associate. I could tell She was a bit frustrated about repeating the same story multiple times. I asked her about other brands, including VC and Omega. I actually gave her specifics about references she didn’t know. I have to say that she realized that she was talking with a true WIS :)
After I finished discussing about the New moonwatch my wife was close to filing for divorce.

In the end I told the associate that I loved my watches and that the only thing they can be sure is that I am not the kind of guy that is going to flip them. I also added that I want to build a relation, but they have to sell me watches, otherwise how can I do that?

I left with the feeling that I had just wasted time.

Well… after 5 days I got the call from the associate “your sub just arrived”.
I’m pretty sure they had it already in the safe, close to a couple of GMTs and Daytonas. They just decided I was honest and worth to invest into.

I have to go back to the AD next week. She said they don’t want a deposit and they will keep it for me.
We will see if they keep their word.
If they do, everything that we say about waiting lists doesn’t mean much.
It’s all personal relation mixed with business potential, but in the end we all knew that.

Will send an update.
