If you pay over the phone should be good

Made me do that when the market was super hot, they called me for my sub and said it’s mine but they wanted immediate payment over phone in full

Was good with it as I did t have time to even go in for another week

they did the same for my explorer, made me pay over the phone even though i could go in the store to pick it up later in the day

i think thats the best way to make sure they save it for you, once its paid it can stay in their vault for as long as you want until you pick it up

Got the call on an Explorer II from my AD. Only issue - I will be out of town for next two weeks and have asked them to hold it. I have come through every other time I got the call. Will they hold for me?

Same situation with a friend of mine. He got the call for an Explorer II on the same day he was flying out. The AD let me pick it up for him since he was my referral anyway. My AD does not accept payment over the phone as they've been burned for it in the past.

Ship it somewhere with no tax.

I bought a Tank Must for my wife earlier this year and they let me pay remotely, however it had to be wired. Would much rather pay with card and get the points. When you guys paid on the phone, did they take card?

Watches of Switzerland let me buy an Omega bracelet for my AT through email from a secure link and shipped it to my house. Depending on who it is, you should be able to work something out.

When I purchased my datejust out of state they let me pay over the phone via CC.

 

[typerpinoy]

My AD send a secure link via email to pay with cc.

Thanks guys. Sounds like I am going to be fine then.

Added this compass to my watch band for my hike around Joshua Tree. Might keep it on the band even after this hike.

Tried on the white speedy this weekend while
Getting my AT bracelet changed and man, this is the next watch I’m buying. So clean, wears so well.

I love mine. Only problem is that new bracelet rips my wrist hair out. Prices coming down too. Wish I didn’t buy at msrp last summer and waited a little.

I might have to jump on this one - especially liking the move away from nato to a two-piece strap to help with the overall thickness.

Heading to LA and SD next month. How safe is it to wear watches out there? Should I wear my Aqua Terra or would I be better off going with my PRX?

The last piece I bought was a BLNR when my son was born. My daughter is due in a couple of weeks, so I was thinking of getting a two-tone DJ36, fluted bezel, jubilee. Both will be theirs, when the time is right. What else would you recommend?

Candy pink or turquoise OP?

Candy pink or turquoise OP?

Fun, but a little too basic

 

[rfx45]

depends when you plan to give it to her

at hs graduation or 18th bday, the OP is good (something cheaper might be betteractually)
college graduation, two tone DJ sounds about right or the rose gold 37mm yachtmaster
wedding = presidential or that turquoise daytona up top

 

[njavier03]

Likely college graduation or some other milestone. Mannnn I still can’t get a Daytona at retail but the YM is something to think about.
