The phone rings, its my AD...

Ad "Hi I've got the GMT ss ceramic bezel, just arrived. Thought you might be interested"

Me "You bet, I'm on my way"

20 minutes later I'm in town, 30 minutes later still looking for a parking spot. They are building a new underground railway in Perth so half the above ground roads are closed ???? Go figure

60 minutes later I'm in the AD.

AD "I'll just get the watch out of the safe"

He reappears wearing white gloves holding a polystyrene shipping box. There it is, doesn't get much newer than this. Wow for the next 30 mins I'm in heaven, it is stunning. The whole thing just works and fits sooo nicely on my wrist and the new clasp is a piece of engineering brilliance and the solid links that make up the bracelet and the way the bezel just smoothly clicks and ....

AD "Hello, hello" snaps his fingers a couple of times to bring me back.

Me "Great I'll take it"

AD "There's a problem"

Me "WHAT?? How can there be a problem. You have the watch, I want to buy it. Seems pretty straight forward to me"

AD "You are No 2 on the list............."

One day later and I am still not over it, so close and yet so far. No1 on the list is now wearing my watch!!

Sigh
