ADs playing the scarcity game with Tudor???

[tng11]

Had to head up to the mall to pick up something and decided to stop by the Rolex/Tudor AD. They had both the Tudor BB GMT and BB58 on strap to try on. I found that I quite liked the size and profile of the BB58:



Anyways, I was advised that if I wanted one, I would have to give them a 100% deposit, non refundable and a 2-4 month waiting period (and same policy with the GMT.) Their policy is the same for many other Rolex models, even apparently the DJ41s! To add insult to injury, I have a purchase history with this AD, which means zip and it doesn't matter, they still want a 100% deposit.

This was a sign to me that things have gone too far - ADs now playing the scarcity game with Tudor!
