Advice: OP 39 Availability in Tokyo

[Mutsu]

Warning, this is part rant while also asking for advice...

I've had my eyes on an OP 39 for a while and after recently getting the all clear from the other half to buy for my upcoming birthday I started making frequent trips to ADs in Tokyo.

Quite a few times I've visited about 10 ADs in Tokyo on the same day and get the same immediate answer from them all... No OP 39s... they can't put me on a waiting list... they don't know when they will get stock... keep coming back to the store to check.

These repeated visits calling in at multiple stores takes a couple of hours at least and it's starting to feel like a big waste of my time.

I contacted a grey market Rolex dealer and they immediately said they could put my name on a waiting list and told me the number of other people waiting.

I understand that the SS watches are in high demand, but this type of service from a retailer is quite poor imo.

What would people advise in this situation? Anything else I can try when going to an AD, or should I just put my name down for a grey market watch?

Thanks
