Not seen anyone get that lucky in the UK market. They even left the stickers on for you.

Congrats on the new watch! Now you have Darth Vader and Storm Trooper. Full starwars setup!

I know! I feel incredibly lucky & cannot quite believe it, as when I got the White in December I was even more set on adding the Black, ASAP, but I had no clue that 3 months later I would be doing just that.

Haha, yes, the full star wars lineup!

Thank you for the kind words!

On the white from that AD I had purchased 3-4 pieces & on the black from that AD around 5 pieces in the past, both from both AD's I had not purchased anything from them in 10 years. So it was very much a case of them knowing me historically & being persistent & keeping in regular contact that helped me seal both pieces.

Unfortunately, I don’t have either and I had previously favored the white, but this thread is making me more of a fan of the black.
