But you’re right, they are top notch from a personal perspective. Everyone I’ve ever talked to there goes out of their way to be helpful and I’d buy from them without hesitation.

Too bad on the discounts. If a 15% discount isn’t possible on this watch, it sounds like I’m much better in the secondary market. I’m never buying the overpriced complications to maybe get put on a list for something that at today’s hype level I’ll never get. Maybe it’ll all change...some day [emoji4]

It never hurts to ask — it’s not like you’re asking for a 5711 or 5167... and you’re trying to take the mainstream AD route vs. grey... all they can say is no.

Yeah - I kinda thought the same thing when we went in and asked about them - but they honed in on what watch I was wearing (and my wife’s) - and we had a good 15min or so discussion. They offered to get them out of the window and everything. They had a 5271 I think too then. I’m sure I’ll go back next time we’re there this summer. I like Swiss Fine Timing downtown as well.
