Should I not buy? What would you do?

So like everyone knows the prices in Europe are going up on November 1st by about 6%.

My AD messed up the list and I got a call 2 weeks ago for a watch but it was the wrong dial color. So they apologised and I was promised the next that comes in is mine. I had the email to prove what I ordered.

Now they did receive what I was waiting for in that shipment but they allocated it to someone who was on the list after me, due to their mistake.

Now I went over there and asked if, due to their mistake, for not allocating me the watch when it was my turn and skipping me, they will sell it to me at the price prior to the price bump. I got a flat no, if I don't like the price I don't need to buy. I get no compensation for their screw-up. And their screw-up will cost me an extra 1k.

So should I just not buy out of sheer principle ?
Cause they wouldn't even meet me halfway ? Or compensate me in any way? Yes it's a sellers market and yes it's hard to get. But still. Admitting a mistake and them making the client pay for it ?

What would u guys do ? Swallow the pill and pay ? Or give up and never buy there again?
