Congrats and kudos for your patience. My guess is they don’t write anything down and your recent visit jogged their memory. I think that model has gone up around $2KUSD since you first asked for it but like you I would never pay over MSRP.
My longest wait was 9 months for a SS Daytona in 2019. It has gone up $3K since and honestly not I would have still taken it had the wait had been until now.

OP - You are WAY more patient that I would have been. I would have gone grey, or bought something else.

Congrats

I'm guessing all of those things are essentially hand made by elves, and not in quantities of nearly 1 million per year by one of the finest industrial enterprises ever created. I think the OP's point stands in regard to Rolex.

cool story and congrats!
