Same here. My AD said they wouldn't even take down my info unless I had previously bought from them. I had to buy stuff first. Then I would qualify (my word, not theirs) to be in line. No thanks. I wasn't in the market for anything else, therefore, I couldn't even get my foot in the door. And from what I have learned since then, the only other AD in my area is playing the bundle game. Again, no thanks. And since I'm on an island, I can't exactly drive out of town/state to find another AD.

It was interesting that the AD sales associate was the very one who mentioned buying outside of normal authorized dealer channels, at a premium, if I really wanted an SS model. This is why I ultimately bought from a trusted seller here.

To me time is important, especially when weighed against a reseller premium that is reasnoable to me. I'm not going buy something that I may or may not want from an AD, just for the priviledge of waiting in line for another 2 years.

This might not apply to you, but certain life events made me reassess why, up until purchasing my watch, I have put off certain things on principle, even if the means are available. In this case, a BLNR isn't astronomically higher than MSRP like a BLRO or SS Daytona. The LVc is creeping up there, but IMHO it's still within reason, as it's harder to get than a BLNR (even the sales associate agreed that an LVc in their inventory is like finding a unicorn).
