It's all about the relationship which is some amorphous mix of how much you spend, how good looking you are, timing, etc.
Strangely I got two emails in Jan/Feb/March 2019 from AD in Switzerland (I've never purchased from them, I've never visited them in person) - to ask if I was still interested in the 5712 they have one in stock for me.

I emailed some of the Swiss ADs in 2017 asking for 5712 as I was (mistakenly) under the impression that it was really hard to get. I thought my email would go straight into the trash as they probably got enquiries like that all the time.

(I got my 5712 within a few months of putting my name down at WOS London in 2017, followed one week later by a phone call from my AD in Hong Kong with another 5712 offer.)
