Yeah it’s a big teaser pic, like I said all watches are for sale. Believe it or not I purchased a BBN from them last year, 10 days later he called me with and offered me the d500. He said he knew I’m not in the flipping business. And talking to him he learned I gotten my first subC and SD43 from a another AD. They do a somewhat screening process or interview when u walk in. They pretty much try to screen everyone.

Pieces with purchase restrictions should be vaulted and handled appropriately.

AD is asking for drama.
Agreed

I’ve said before — (as I have seen as well) many ADs in popular vacation spots (as well as airport boutiques) have some very surprising inventory if you show up at the right time...

Remember...it’s ‘us’...the WIS community that has hyped up these references...not ‘average Joe, watch buyer’...

I don't think it is us, our membership hasn't suddenly grown hugely, but we are shining a light on the situation that is already drawing in many new glory hunters and speculators, but that's an unavoidable by-product of a thriving forum whose time has come.

Absolutely — I think there is a definitely another facet of the WIS community that might not subscribe to the Forums as well.

Given your original statement they aren't for sale. The chances of someone here knowing where your AD is and already having a prior purchase is close to zero.

Your most realistic statement is that this is a big teaser pic.

If the AD trully is just displaying the watches and telling everyone they arent for sale. Thats pretty effed up.

Here are a bunch of watches we arent going to sell you.

I wonder if someone walked in with 30 or 40k in cash wanted to buy a few if that would chsnge their tune.

They should add the new SS Pepsi-c in the display just show us that all the carrots we can see but can't have - New Rolex strategy
