He was just munching on his cookies today, and sending a birthday wish to his friend, on this routine day, and the phone rang.

It showed Gregories (a Tudor retailer in Sydney). He immediately picked up the phone. Ooo, it was the manager who called. He remember manager. Nice man, who warm and kind.



“Your BB58 925 is here. Would you like to buy it?”

Cookies already has 2 blackbays, but one more won’t hurt. So he bought the 925 immediately. Cookies buys from ADs who are humble and good humans, not buy from hard selling wheeler dealers or mean AD who look down on people.

For now, he will wear the standard blue BB. After tomorrow, cookies will wear the 925.

Moral of the story: “be genuine and sincere to your AD.”

Cookies know some ADs can be very snobbish. He avoid AD with uppity treatment to customers. But sometime he call them to show them he not afraid to spend.

Your Tudor fits you wel. I am curious Cookie. I go to visit an AD who is new to me. Maybe another AD tomorrow, also new to me. Why always different AD’s? I shop for brands and their movements, and it can be a favorite AD do not sell a watch i have an eye on. I am a real procrastinator, so it is a huge surprise when i buy a watch. We’ll see, i am a Muppet show fan. I am the test bunny. But i wanted to be the Hulk, not Kermit. Hulk, with a RubberB or Zealande green strap.

Form genuine friendships with ADs. If they wanna know your life story, maybe it is really because they want to be your friend. Sometimes ADs can be very straightforward to tell honest truth. They rather sell you something which fits u, than something u like or is hyped about. Cookies regret, not buying Project Alaska Speedy, Speedy Tintin, and Vancouver Olympics seamaster, De Bethune Starryvarius, and Rolex pepsi at good price when kind AD told him it is the one to take. Most heart pain came whe

I pray the AD calls u for the Deepsea JC. You truly deserve that piece. It is the piece which I sense u truly like. They must be ethical and sell it to the true collector, not some flipper dealer. It may happen any day now…

Bought first hand…with warranty and receipt with your name. I can imagine your joy when you receive the JC brand new. The day will come. I strongly believe so. I also strongly believe all the major brands are reading this forum a lot. Surprised that T Mosso is actually on this forum. Surprised that after I wrote about the Tag Heuer night lume, they released the watch 8 months later.
