Still convinced that availability is location dependent

Admittedly, there was not a Sub, but I’m reasonably confident that if I was ready to pull the trigger, I could get one from my AD in two or three months. And I’m absolutely certain that if you plopped down the MSRP for any watch there, the AD would have happily sold it to you whether they knew you or not and regardless of your prior purchase history. I’m continually amazed how many people in other locations seem to endure all sorts of machinations in simply trying to buy a watch. Oh, also, all of the watches have been there for months, so it’s not like they just got a shipment on or something. Makes me think that if my local AD didn’t have what I wanted in stock, it would be worth a road trip to other locations.
Just a thought.

I'm skeptical.
