I tried on a couple they had in stock and kept saying that I really want to wait for the Sub as none of them were the ones I wanted. After ten to fifteen mins in the store, they say they just got a shipment in and are unpacking it now and "Presto'"..they walk out with the exact watch I want.
Of course I took it, but couldn't help but think that this was a game and they "vetted" me and looked up my purchase history while I was trying on watches. The process feels slimy, but I'm happy I got the watch!
Upon leaving, I said that I'll buy several more watches if a Daytona magically appears in the next few years.....and I shall wait and see.

A very good chance i'd say, but who cares, you got your watch...
