Funny scene at AD

Was at the local AD today, trying on some Panerais and Bretilings -- walked to the back of the store where the Rolex section is at and in the "private" area where they do deliveries was a green rolex canvas bag and two guys were stacking / sorting about 20 coffins.

I asked the SA if anything in that bag was for sale, his reply was: "don't know, we haven't gone through it yet, what are your looking for"

me: "a pepsi"

sa unfortunately said no pepsi in that shipment and that they haven't seen one in a while. -- uh well, i guess its not my turn yet.

thought it was funny to watch the two other guys scurry away with the loot when i got interested in what they were doing.

I feel like every AD says they haven't seen a Pepsi (or Batman, or other hard to get model) in a while. But once you spend a large amount of money there all of a sudden they can get one pretty quick.

I doubt that they‘d have given you a watch that they are reselling probably with a high premium to a grey for a $100 tip.

And greys take the more unpopular models too, you not.

Maybe the were grey dealers “got it, got it, need it, got it. I’ll take them all”
Were there big “$” signs on the pouches?
