After an exhausting three years, visits to AD's in four states and seven different countries, only with the assistance of a VERY gracious member of this forum, I was finally able to secure this for my wife yesterday.

Another member had contacted me a few weeks back asking how I had sourced my GMT's from an AD, which he had read about in an older posting. We corresponded and I explained how much trouble I was having finding a particular piece for my wife. He was kind enough to offer to ask his AD, and viola, three weeks later we are meeting for the first time at his AD picking this model up.

Once again, I am flabbergasted by the great people on this forum and the lengths that they will go to help strangers. (now friends)

Daniel, I cannot thank you enough.

P.S. - She is totally smitten with her new watch.



P.P.S. - The compulsory cocktail after purchase

Congratulations, we picked up a yellow version of this piece for the wife about six months ago. To my surprise, it was not that easy to obtain! Good on the forum member for their assistance!
