I think that's where you and I may disagree. My position is that a normal person who makes an effort to be vetted, CAN get a desirable piece without going grey and without spending a fortune first. ADs don't always just sell to people who buy jewelry or always bundle with a lady's diamond Datejust. If you don't walk in and assume you deserve the watch just because you have the ability to pay, you have a better chance to win the AD over and be offered desirable pieces. That's my argument.
