You’re being honest, and not risking being blacklisted for selling/trading a newly purchased watch.

lol, I’m on the opposite side. I get offered the BLNR somewhat regularly but I’ve been holding out for the VTNR since it was released two years ago and never been offered one. Go figure .

You can possibly wait for what you really want to buy, or you can buy the Sprite if you like it and keep it.

I would wait and get the BLNR if that is the watch you want. I think the AD will appreciate your honesty, and get you what you want. I picked up my Batgirl today, and waited about a year or less. It was worth the wait.

If you don't care whether or not you buy another watch from this AD........

Buy the Sprite, then find an AD who would want to procure your Sprite for their certified pre-owned section, in exchange for giving you a Batgirl.

Look at it this way, the AD was only going to get $10,000 for selling the Batgirl. If they trade it for your Sprite, they might get $20,000 in revenue instead of $10,000. They should even be willing to give you a couple grand cash in the trade deal and still come out way ahead.
