Patience pays off....

I thought I would share my latest pick up (at retail) from my A.D. They have always treated me great actually beyond great. No this purchase was not tied to all kinds of stuff I had to purchase to get it, but they have been my go to jeweler for many years. I am far from the high-rollers I know they have as customers, but I did not just walk in their door either. They actually contacted me about a year and a half ago that they had a black one for me, but I was traveling out of the country and could not jump on it and had to pass on it. I asked them to put my name back in the line about a year ago and here it is. Was not sure I would ever get the call, but I did.

Rolex crushed it with this one and it is just stunning in person. I had a two tone a few years ago with Arabic numerals that I purchased at less than retail new from a trusted seller on this site, but never quite warmed up to it. Sold it and had to have the steel ceramic. Glad I did.

Please pardon the crappy cell phone pictures.

So cool! Glad your patience paid off. I'm sure they were pleased that you were honest with them when you said you couldn't take the watch a year and a half ago.
Enjoy!
