What's worse for the AD's business - having watches that you can't buy or having no watches and telling customers that they can't buy the watches that they don't have?

Not having watches to sell?

They actually have a lot of watches to sell …it’s just that demand has been so high that the moment they land they are sold to existing customers. Which means that, outside models like the PearlMaster, there will be likely no stock for walk-in customers.

But ADs are doing the best business they have done in decades.

It just sucks for anyone who is a first-time client/walk-in.
