Shoutout to Takashimaya Japan!
Congratulations OP! Which one is your favorite so far? Sounds like the wait on SS was very short. How long for the OF?

I think the OF is my fav. The OF wait time was 3 months last year

No one would dare “out” their AD here in the US by telling this story and then thanking their AD by name.

Why?

Well, imagine the people reading your post who have been on that AD’s waitlist for 5-8 years, or those who have spent $500,000 there and were told they would be next for the white dial, but still don’t have it.

I’m guessing your AD is getting flogged with texts, DMs, calls and Emails saying, “heh, what the heck?!?”

Congrats on the watch, but your AD’s life just got more complicated.
