    This morning, I got a call from a saleswoman letting me know that she was pleasantly surprised to open a package from Omega that included the new Seamaster 300 reissue..she said:"I wanted to let you know before I put it out on the sales floor..".

    I had called a few weeks ago and asked about it, and she said she was told February, but she would let me know as soon as she knew something. She was excited about this one, too. So, it seems she was calling me for first dibs! I told her I was probably not prepared to buy now, but that I still want to see it ASAP. Now I wish I hadn't told her that...:mad:

    I can't decide if I should go there right now, or wait 'til morning... what a sickness I have!!

    So, am I the only lucky guy in Atlanta? How many other guys did this sweet lady call with the same information?

    Then, she sends me pictures of it from her cell phone:

    Guys, how should I react to this?

    Should I:

    1. Report her right away to the Internet watch pornography police?

    2. Ask her if she is single, and wants to go out on a date?

    3. Run down to the boutique in rush-hour right now and buy the watch?

    4. ask her for more pictures that might include her in them?

    5. All of the above?

    Let us know how much $$ you need.............Not that we're going to help you out, we just want to gauge whether we need to put you in 21 days Forum quarantine or not. :p

    I'm assuming the quarantine would be if I use restraint and hold off, as that would be the illness very few, if any, Forum members are afflicted by!

    I've decided to call her back (she sounds lovely anyway, btw) and tell her I will be there in the morning!

    That would make two good reasons to stop in...:D

    Correct. If you can go the 21 without going back, you can then mix with the rest us. While not a cure, lack of funds has been shown to improve your chances. Being married, having children, having children in college, an under water mortgage, these are all recommended treatments to boost your immune system. :thumbsup:

    She says she won't be there in the morning, so now the decision is, do I risk going out now in rush hour to see the watch (and her), or wait 'til tomorrow?

    OMG, she just sent me some pics!!

    I'll have to start a new thread for this one, since I kinda feel like I've 'hijacked' this one (sorry!)

    6. Just buy the damn thing
    Tell her you will come down and buy it today, but only
    if she has a drink with you to celebrate after she
    gets off.
    Want me to call her for you?

    I'm a rookie at this, so tell me,

    How can you tell her arm is getting excited? Goose-flesh?
