I registered interest at 2 of my local AD for a Polar white Explorer II and a Air king. Havent been offered anything in like 4 months. I will probably get in patient soon and Just pick up an Air king from a grey as they fetch about a 20% premium over msrp from what Ive seen

Perfectly stated - MSRP is nothing more than a number pulled out of the air because they need something to print on the little white tag.

MSRP is meaningless in the real world where the price is what someone is willing to pay for the item.

No one walks into a car dealer and demands to pay sticker price/MSRP!

It can happen. I got mine after 60 days with no prior history to speak of.

Yes indeed. Same here with the rolesor two tone model. Around 8 weeks in my case, no prior history.

I would just give it a little time. The 124 is more wrist size sensitive than a DJ 36mm and some with bigger wrists may find it too small. This may bring some sanity to the market once those people start to look for something slightly bigger. But hey what do I know.. this market is nuts
