I’m not so sure. I deal with 2 ad’s and for certain they can’t get sports models but, and crucially it is a but, they also can’t get enough dress pieces to keep their supposed store stock up to Patek spec. I’m not saying the dress pieces walk out the door without hitting the window display, but they do sell very well and they won’t discount. I’m always surprised when someone says I saw a 5270P or a 5320G in an ad window and this seems to cause shock. These are pieces you need to see and try but as I say they then go on to sell - and usually pretty quick.
