I have also heard that it is extremely likely that the CB gets changed in some meaningful way before those 7 years are up. So again, if you want it, buy it. But hang on to it. It's worth it.
Based on my experience, though the list is strictly controlled, it is possible to move your way up the list at the boutiques. However, it is a combination of relationships, and purchase history (and significantly harder than buying $100k worth of Rolexes to get the allocation pieces).
