Got the Sprite I’ve been waiting for!!!

Yesterday, I was I’m my AD picking out an anniversary gift for my wife. I went over to the Rolex side of the store before I left and finding the perfect gift. All of a sudden the manager whom I had spoke with on several other occasions came out. After we spoke for a while, I was offer a beautiful Sprite on Oyster bracelet. Being that this was one of my top choices I made the purchase without hesitation.

So I guess I got myself an anniversary gift as well. Couldn’t be happier with the way it wears and especially the way it looks!

Didn’t get the excitement of “the call”, but I for sure got sweaty in the AD when it was happening.

-Chris

Major congrats. Don't get too keen on getting the "call". They literally deal with 10s of thousands of people. Just gotta be at the right time and right place

Thanks! I was so blown away. I thought it was just a great visit and chat at the AD and then boom. So excited to show this thing off.

To all those still waiting… there is hope!

Oh the drama… has anyone had their FB stolen? I received a ton of texts and calls (all blocked as possible scam) about selling and buying my watch… The only place I posted it was on FB with some pictures as my humble brag I guess. Then I was locked out of my FB and learned someone took it over somehow.

The worst part is the AD called me. He said they got a message or inquiry that I wanted to sell the watch I just purchased back to them 🧐.

Luckily I got it all taken down so hopefully the calls stop soon. But my page is gone forever I guess. What a world. Has anyone else experienced this?

Congrats on the watch! Sucks about getting your FB account stolen. That's not fun.

How in the world did your FB get hacked and then how did anyone know what AD you purchased from and why would someone call them?

This thread just got bizarre.

Congrats on the Sprite! I like it more and more!

Re Facebook, my gf’s got hacked this summer… hacjers take control of someone’s account, get access to all posts and messages, use that information to contact that account’s friends and in turn hack them as well…
In the end she managed to gain control again. But it was not easy.
