Not an incoming but as close as I've been
Got invited to a Patek event at my AD, asked if had any BLRO's in the safe I could see in person.
It's reserved for someone and not my turn yet, but it was what I needed to confirm I will definitely want it when it's available and loved it on the wrist. https://i.imgur.com/PaGHHPL.jpg

I look forward to your own incoming thread. It’s a solid steel stunner in person. Especially on ones own wrist

It’s worth waiting for if it’s the reference you love! It’s an awesome watch.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I was the person that watch was reserved for, and I was buying new, I’d be rather annoyed that they were letting other random people try it on before I picked it up.
Or is this the new normal, and every in demand piece is effectively a display/ex demo? Same with cars, if I buy new, nobody but factory and dealer delivery staff should drive it before me, and even buying used, once I’ve paid my money and signed a purchase contract, it should be put away until I pick it up... SOoO many watches SOoO little time... |

(btw, good luck securing the blro, i love mine. it's a beautiful, iconic reference.) |

My wife was looking at jewelry and we were just catching up with my SA. Before we left I thought I would just try my luck as it's the watch I'm waiting for and it worked. I agree with what you say but if it was myself who's watch it was intended for I wouldn't be bothered as long as it wasn't dropped etc but that's just me. I do get where your coming from though
