Hi All,

After picking up the BB58 blue back in July, the helpful SA reached out to say thank you for my custom and if I'd like anything else to let her know.

I replied Monday last week with "a BLNR would be nice, but I know it's asking too much". Fast forward to Wednesday last week and I had the call - picked her up today and I couldn't be happier.

Long story short, due to finance and family commitments I had to turn down the offering back in 2015, which has made this taste even sweeter :)

Pics attached (apologies for the disgusting skin peeling, I burnt the f*** out of my arm on the BBQ)

Nope, previous to that was a date just Wimbledon dial back in March.

I think my luck was in being sincere and making conversation with the AD around my watch passion, what i like and my intentions for not flipping.

My take with everything - treat people how you’d like to be treated, it’s amazing what being pleasant can do to people’s desire to help you :)
