you see it all the time here. Asking for 1 hot watch has its own challenges but you would be amazed by the number of people who ask for 3 or 4 at once and just say they will take whatever they can get. Worst strategy move ever to give an AD a hot model shopping list.

I wish you all the best of luck, You can only try. I do not recommend purchasing pieces you do not like just to build up a relationship with the AD. You have to balance the cost and decide. Grey or AD.

Haha this happens all the time at my AD. I think one person asked for about 8 hot models once!
