Your statement is incorrect. Two years ago when I was looking for a 5711 blue dial I asked a few AD's including Tiffany Beverly Hills to call me when they get one in. I found one before Tiffany called, but they did call in approximately six months and say the watch was in and if I wanted it come and get it. I had never bought from them, watch or anything else. The whole idea of a "list" is 99% BS most of the time, it's all about your relationship with the AD or salesperson. Be friendly, be knowledgeable, act like you're serious about buying, maybe even offer to leave a deposit, and you'll be at the top of the so called list.
