Incoming!!
I’ve been asking my jewelry store if they could get me a GMT. I do have a purchase history there but nothing crazy. It’s been 3+ years and haven’t had any luck.

About two months ago we were at the mall in Santa Monica, and decided to stop into the dealer there. Of course they didn’t have anything, but I did get to try on a display GMT and a new sub. Surprised I felt the sub just had better dimensions and just fit better. I let the sales guy know I would be interested in a sub.

Yesterday I get the call to come pick up my new sub! I was in shock! Never did I expect this to happen so fast, as there are so many heavy hitters in the area. It also happens to be my 5 anniversary with the wife. It’s as if the stars aligned.

I have been in that store before. I have heard that Geary’s Boutique SM is the #2 highest volume dealer in the US. Sounds like you passed their test. Congrats.

Heavy hitters aren’t looking for a black Sub.

Congrats, though! Looking good.

Congratulations on your Sub and five year anniversary!

"Heavy-hitters" of course want Subs to give to their children or valet parking attendant!
