A Pleasant Surprise

I forgot that I had asked my local AD to be added to the “List” for this and was pleasantly surprised when they called me.

I'm still in the "Don't Hold Your Breath" stage for a Daytona.

I’m also hoping for a call and when I see people post about getting one my initial reaction is lucky SOB followed my a smile. Enjoy your new watch.

Maybe it’s come full circle and the one lady that cooks them up made mk10 = mk1
