Congratulations OP!

I was in an Omega Boutique a few days ago. We discussed the manufacturing process behind their ceramic cases and had an overall great conversation about technical builds.

Contrasting that with this conversation is almost night and day in experience. Crazy Rolex has become this way.

What an absolute load of crap hahahahaha. Seriously, they think they can prosecute you for selling something that belongs to YOU?

Congrats. So cool to hear stories like this. I've been on the list for years with my AD for a Batman/Batgirl. I visit every 6-9 months and email every 1-2 months. My last pop-in, she told me it was "impossible" to get. My Wife said to just buy it grey, but there are other Rolex's I would like eventually, so I would like to develop a relationship for future purchases. Your story gives me hope, but I think I need to find a new AD or at least a new Rep.

Worth waiting it out.

It is like boiling water. Takes a while to start, but then you’re rollin’!

Awesome story! And an amazing watch! I have to confess to deep jealousy.

But the declaration is a joke. You may have entered into a contract (though not if that’s all the document says). But whether something is a crime doesn’t depend on what two parties agree to. And you can’t be “prosecuted” for something that’s not a crime. Pretty funny they give it a shot, however.
