Waiting and uncertainty of wait certainly has a price.

And, strictly speaking, there are plenty of examples of zero wait or restrictions on availability. Where the initial list price ends up being far from the market price. Obviously the very nature of market prices is that they are dynamic.

In addition, most would probably agree that some of the valuable watches were very unpopular when they were easily available at dealer showrooms (early Daytona for example). In fact so unpopular that the manufacturer could not sell many units which constrained the future supply.

The 5711 is an example. They were relatively easy to get in 2015. Dont ask me how I know ;-)

The McLaren P1 was also easy to get at MSRP during the pre order phase. Etc etc etc....
