Really got the call!
I should have posted this earlier, but the weekend got away from me.
I was invited to visit my AD for a "soft opening" of their new location (across the street) prior to the weekend. I was hoping it was "the call", but it wasn't. It was a great visit and an excellent tour of a beautiful location, but I wasn't offered a watch. I got another text Saturday night from my SA telling me that she was holding my newly allocated SD43 in her hand! They're closed Sunday and Monday, but I'm heading in tomorrow to take delivery. |

I am happy for you. I remember reading the story.
I hear some people call shopping at an AD a "game". I don't have an opinion on whether it is or not. However, IF it is indeed a game...After thoroughly reading the story that detailed your journey at this AD up to your allocation, I think you stuck to the fundamentals of it and won. Well played, sir! Congratulations.

SD43, to me, is the best all around diver and I have subs, DSSD JC and the SD43. Congrats on such a cool diver. Pictures please.
