Got the call....

I was on a list for a Submariner for about 5 months and today I got the call. I love it and it looks and feels great. Kind of odd though, I can buy a Submariner from a Rolex AD but I cannot buy TP at the grocery store.

Be well

Congrats. I've been politely reminding my AD that I'm still around and waiting on a Sub (and CHNR)!

Congrats. 5 months is a little long for Sub. Must have been a really busy AD.

I had an easier time procuring a bottle of Blanton's at Jewel-Osco through a manager going into the back than getting a pack of toilet paper. FML

Congrats on the Sub
