I think it’s important to a lot of buyers to know that they’re buying a watch that the seller has immediate access to and not one that they still have to source, or are reselling for someone else.
Though some watches are so uncommon that it may be worth having a well known and connected grey market seller looking for one for you. They might want a deposit and that might be fine. It would depend on the situation. They might do the searching without a deposit, but you’d have to be a trusted buyer. They don’t want to get burned finding some supposed grail watch only to have you offering 500 excuses why you can’t complete the transaction.
