Story of my new Hamilton 18K Rose Gold

I posted this 2 weeks ago, but I think I didn't articulate the story well.
I hope I can tell the story better now.

I worked in a retail department store. From time to time they have employee only sale event. The inventory are mostly unsold items. This time, the sale was for jewelry and watches. They only gave us 15 minutes to browse and buy. We also couldn't turn on our phone to check the retail prices. So I went in, and there are perhaps hundreds of watches: Tissot, Hamilton, Rado, and Longines. Some caught my eyes, but this one is somehow unique. I saw the tag, it is $100.00. Because it was at the end of the event too, so they gave another 15% discount from the tag price. I purchased it and return to my office.

When I checked in the internet, I couldn't believe the MSRP is $5,295!
Sure enough, I brought it to my Rolex AD to verify it. And it is true that I got a jackpot! Apparently it is also the limited edition of 1892 of them. This will now be my daily rotation with my Black SubC. I was so lucky because the other watches were only about 50-70% discount. There were some $2000 watches that were being sold at $400.

The watch actually was couple minutes faster, and I had it regulated. Today I just got it back and love to share the photo with you guys:

Here are more photos.
As you can see it is very thin and comfortable to wear.

A very nice dress watch and quite a deal. Store needs new staff in jewelry and watches who know their products better - but a deal that was good for you

Killer deal on a beautiful watch.

I'm sure you're stoked. I know I would be.
