Got the call (1mo wait)

Finally got my grail today - and it’s such an extreme case of purchase history/knowing people which I know is the most frustrating part of this hobby for so many

I had my own purchase history with one AD (Datejust and Explorer 2) but was waiting for 4+ years to get a Batman. Followed up, stopped by, but still waited and waited and waited.

Friend of mine takes me to his AD where he and his family have significantly more purchase history over the years. Chat with the people there for a while, exchange pleasantries and mention that I’ve been trying to get a Batman forever. Leave my info thinking nothing of it then 1mo later I have my grail. Glad to finally have my Batman but jeez do you really have to work to get some of these more popular models.
