Other times they have said that they can not, or should I say will not, meet the price or beat it. It is a buyers world if you leverage your cash and do your homework.
Couldn't have said it better...

Getting the classic, Sub C 116610. I think it will be cornerstone of my collection.

Here is what sucks - I'm traveling to Seattle tomorrow morning until Saturday. AD is closed Sunday and the only day they are open late is Thursday, so I won't be able to go in until next Thursday night. I'm having the watch shipped, so it won't be sent out until Friday. I'm away with the wife/kid Saturday-Sunday next weekend, so I'll need to send it to my office on Monday 12/21.

The anticipation begins...
Congrats! Why not ship it to Seattle to a Fedex office and ask them to hold for pick up. I've done that many times.

AD isn't in NYC where I am located, I have too much to do today to get out there. I want them to show me how to use the guidelock, make sure it is sized properly, and enjoy the experience, not feel rushed.

I totally understand the feeling of wanting it immediately, but that just isn't feasible right now. It has taken me 32 years to be in a situation where I can comfortably buy a Rolex, I'm okay waiting an extra 12 days. Besides, gives me something to be very excited about.
