And realistically, I know once the buying stops, so does my "status" with the brand and won't be considered for future desirable pieces, it does gets tiring after a while. And I have now more watches than I can ever wear so I plan to slow down a lot this year.

As for wishlist, I did request a 5726 blue though from an AD that I have supported with several purchases but I am not sure if I will actually get one as everything is so arbitrary nowadays. I am now looking to purchase watches that deliver more value while being more accessible and also into independents.

And I agree with Jorge that if they keep pissing people off especially with new buyers that become disillusioned, one day, there will be no new buyers to pick up the slack when the old buyers decided enough is enough and stop buying.
yeah is tiring playing the game, and even stressful sometimes and thats not something i sign up for. When have you seen customers begging for buying ? AD's used to call you when something come in, now you call with hopes that they might have mercy on you , really ? screw that not playing their game no more, if they want my business a lot of things have to change.
