Went through the usual four TDs to check the availability of a watch. They all said not in stock. Even my lesser-known TD (my current fav), could not get my specific model, but was able to get an alternative.
One day, I saw a thread by another RWI member regarding a QC. It was similar to the watch I wanted to buy so I tracked down the OP to a back alley and confronted him. He let out a gasp: "Mary". And so, from this back alley rendezvous, I heard the first whispers of Mary.

Received the watch
Notes:
- Mary was able to get me a watch that even my favorite TD said was out of stock. And that TD had been able to get me every watch that other RWI members keep claiming to be sold out or no longer being produced.
- Throughout the course of this transaction, it is clear that Mary is not one for small talk or pleasantries. I like it. My kind of style.
- The packing was very nice.
