is the 36mm blue OP hard to find?

i've had my eye on this one for a while, w/ the 3/6/9 dial. my AD has one, and has had it for a while. they say it's the only one and they're unsure if they're getting more.

just a sales tactic? or should i grab it while i can? i was planning on waiting until fall.

i reckon they could order me one if it came to it, but then there's no incentive to give me a discount.

yeah i might just pick it up. sadly, the salesperson w/ whom i had been working (and who was very patiently letting me try on all manner of watches over the past 6 months) is no longer there. so all her work was for naught and someone else will get the sale.

They are taking you for a ride. Those are a great choice but not hard to find. I’d expect a discount.

They can still be found new, not that hard to find. Great watch, specially with the Mercedes hands upgrade

Not hard at all IMHO. When I visited 7 ADs in Singapore in March, 4 out of 7 had it in stock.

I don’t know about availability but I’ve always liked this model, understated, reliable and versatile. A great watch. Your AD is probably right, he may not know when he’s getting another. If you like it, really like, just get it!

assuming you mean this one:

... it's a 34mm. i think the 36mm fits me better.
