Tokyo boutique opening mini-report

Ciao guys!!
Trust you all had a good day today! I know I did!! As promised earlier, Im here to give a short report about the 1st ever OP boutique in Japan. It just opened today in Tokyo at 11am.
Well, the boutique is nice, very spacious and had the usual OP teak and steel theme, with that huge picture of the black seal in the back ground. Nothing special to all of us im sure.
This being Japan, the staff and their service is of course impeccable, and they did their work professionally despite there being a constant influx of customers. This is Tuesday mind you, a total normal working day, but i overheard other customers saying that they actually skipped work to come!! Can you believe it?! Haha well i took work off myself too, but i guess this can all be attributed to the power of Panerai huh
One guy even drove right up to the shop, parked his car there and waited from (drum rolls please) 6AM!!! Are we nuts or what?!
The boutique is in Ginza, think of it as Beverly Hills of Tokyo, and you get how pretigious the area it is located in is, but despite such a fine location, I found a damn queue when i got there!!
Now, i dont know about you guys, and im TOTALLY NOT HERE TO MAKE ANYONE JEALOUS, BUT ( didnt you know a BUT was coming?) i got the VERY 1st PAM309 Radiomir Titanium in Japan!! If i'm NOT personally mistaken, one of the 1st few in the world too?! Any of you guy's got a 309 already coming into your AD's in your country? And to put sugar on top of honey, I got a PAM 232 as well! All this on the 1st day of the 1st boutique in Japan! I simply cant express enough how happy and extremely thrilled I AM beyond anything! I feel like i can fly to the moon now Paneristis!!!! Even the staff could literally FEEL my joy when i got the piece! The 309 is the only piece i wanted from this year's show, and I was really very enthusiastic about it right up to now from its announcement. Who was to know that right now tonight i can be sleeping with it already!
Yes, the next thing you guys are gonna ask me is for my feelings about it ( which will come in a week's time after i put the watch through my usual "mandatory" testing period) and photos. For the latter, i apologise as always, I STILL DONT HAVE A DAMN DIGITAL CAMERA OR CAMERA OF SORTS FOR THAT MATTER. Well my mobile does have a cam, but then i cant upload that to the computer, I REALLY REALLY APOLOGISE FELLOWS! But well look forward to my report soon!
I woke up today expecting the best of the best to happen, and sure enough, it hell did!! Even more than what I thought could happen!
And as i said previously too, anyone coming over to Tokyo and might need assistance in going to the boutique or anything else, just PM me!
Grazie et ciao!!
