Walk into any AP boutique and they have zero watches (maybe one Code) to show for... So what are they going to sell?

Every time I check in with my favorite sales consultant (he's a really interesting guy) I witness a number of people asking to see something (see above - "can't shown you, don't have it "), inquire about a particular model (they are then told nothing is available or they are to be put on a list) and then walk out

The MSRP for each watch is determined with the only variable being sales tax, which doesn't benefit the company but Uncle Sam. They certainly dont have to discount anything.

I am sure if they had more Tourbillons, ROs, ROO, ROC etc they'd all fly off the shelf...??!
Seemed to me like much of the discussion centered around there not being any US only LEs.
