Correct. Less than 6 months and by no means a whale or even close. Honestly I understand the frustration of those who are either patiently waiting for their grail or even the first piece.
I’ve always refrained from commenting on the posts regarding ‘how it works’ in terms of ADs. All I can say is it truly is about relationships.
I told my SA and the owner when I picked it up that I know they have to make a decision on who to allocate this to among hundreds of their excellent customers and the fact they considered me meant as much as the watch itself…and I am sincere about that.

Indeed! Funny because my AD contacted my wife first telling her he has something he knows I want and would she like to surprise me with it for Christmas?
She is into watches herself and said she couldn’t bear to hold this one until Christmas so just call him. After he called she asked if she did the right thing and my response was ‘hell yeah’
