Maybe naive but it's really the way to get a new customer, my Patek AD operates this way unlike some others that won't sell you a hard to get watch unless you have multiple prior purchases. My first purchase was a 5711, next a sealed 5980 blue from his safe, also sold a friend the other sealed 5980 blue from his safe, and now I don't shop anywhere else. Unlike the other AD I contacted about the 5522, he said buy some of our stuff we have in stock and we will consider selling you one. Not how to get a new customer! It may be wishful thinking on Thierrys part but he has the right idea.
