Just wanted to share this - maybe it's nothing new to the veterans, but I was really impressed. My wife wants a Lady Cockpit, but I was having terrible trouble finding her the one that she wanted (despite Ron's sterling efforts - thanks Ron). The combination that she was looking for just didn't seem to exist - black face, stainless steel with gold riders and crown on a two tone bracelet. JomaShop had a picture of one on a strap, but didn't have it in stock, no one else had it - could get the SS on gold, but not gold on SS.
My AD (La Swiss in Toronto) didn't have one, but when I spoke to them they went out of their way to make sure that I got what I wanted - they have special ordered the watch for me by ordering the closest stock item and then specifying the changes that I wanted. The part that really blew me away was that I paid exactly what I would have paid for the watch had it been sitting in the AD's window - basically got the same discount as for my recent Cockpit purchase.
To me, just another reason to support the ADs. They estimated that the watch will be here late September / early October - only problem with that is the real temptation to cancel the order in favour of the bronze Montbrillant Lagende sitting in the AD's display case
