Congratulations, hope it arrives soon.
I can identify with a sleepless night, or two.

Vance, THANK YOU for referring to your watch by its proper model as opposed to the nickname. Shows a level of maturity on your part.

It is "possible" that you got your watch from an AD who had it stored away and could not get anyone on their list to agree to purchase, so you were the lucky next guy in line. AD's can be hurting right now and "may" be attempting to clear out the "stored-away" items.

Some folks here have been getting surprised by watches they were told would not be available, yet suddenly some of these rare items are showing up for sale.

Def can relate to that feeling... Also there's often a feeling of "OMG I just did that" after making that payment.

Congrats!

Vance,

I speak from experience - 21 years ago I couldn’t eat or sleep while waiting for ‘the package’ to arrive from Lenox Jewelers - this is completely natural.

Enjoy your new GMT BLNR!
