These are scarce in the UK and seemingly parts of the USA by recent posts.
If all your ADs have them in the window is it just not popular where you are or I am guessing your ADs don't have the client base for them?

I'll say that to me, the AD's answer about the computer system has a strong odor that one usually associates with stockyards...

My AD had one last year when I dropped by... then this year when I was in the market, no one has it in stock (3 different ADs in 3 different cities) so I just saved a WHOLE BUNCH of money and got one used from TRF.

OP, I hope one turns up for you soon and they do seem to be readily available in the US.

I've never had to put a deposit down on a watch before, but I hope if you decide to get your money back and search elsewhere, everything works out.

My AD told me 6 weeks, but it arrived in 8 days. That was about 4 weeks ago.

At least that makes me feel a little better. Still seems like it's been a long time though.

That's a bummer. Shouldn't be much longer. I've seen several in AD cases lately. Good choice. It's a beauty

Just got the call from the AD that it just came in. Almost 2 months to the day.

My ad told me two months max, I called in a week and they said they'll check again and the next day they told me that there's one available. Makes me think there's no wait at all.
