I know people say that the hype has died and you can find them relatively easy but i'm still to see one in a window. Even going into ADs and asking you tend to receive the waiting list speech around my area, South London.
I managed to get mine from my AD without being on the list but in fairness I have bought a lot of watches from them so I should hope they value my business
But yeah, from my experience it isn't quite as easy as people make out to track one down at an AD, not to say that it is impossible. I definitely think it is easier than it was a few years ago but they are still tricky to track down. Of the times I have heard about them being available in AD windows, they tend to be in the northern parts of the country, I am yet to see one around the London area and further south.
Just my 2 cents
