Magically appearing hot models
How likely is it that ADs have hot models in the safe that suddenly are produced should vips/ big spenders come calling?

I know a few AD’s that hold a few back!
I usually pop in once or twice a month and on most occasions they do have something in the safe, last time it was a Sub LV and before that a BLNR. |

Yes. I've gotten a SS white Daytona and BLRO within same day from inquiring with my AD
Bigger check doesn't promise you a model necessarily from "most" ADs. I def had some timing and luck on my side when I've called. Daytona was absolutely sitting in back of safe but the BLRO was a shipment from that morning by luck and my relationship with the AD made me a VVIP on any "list".. Good luck.

ADs have the watches, they just release them to “VIPs”

I would say it happens a lot more often than people think. I know a few AD’s that have Daytona’s in the back waiting for someone to come buy a couple day date’s

I don’t understand this practice. As a business owner, if I have a product you want, and you have the money to pay for said product, a deal is about to take place.
For the life of me, I can’t understand holding stock to sell to a “high roller”. Who OR what defines a high roller anyway... |
