Times are a changin'...

Just got offered a 5226G with no purchase history or relationship with the AD. Just a casual inquiry a couple years ago.

The small post launch hype around this model has died rather quickly.

Are you going to get it?

Already picked up one a while back. I just thought it was an interesting data point.

The crazy part is that you registered interest years ago. It would make more sense to prioritize recent asks over customers who asked years ago then never followed up. They must be far down the interest list

The price for the 5226G on even the price-inflated Chrono24 is below retail.

I’m not complaining. It’s a pretty 3 hander.

This is probably true and will be interesting to see how this plays out given state of the watch industry now compared to even two years ago. They've cut their effective customer base by chopping ADs, and for various reasons demand for watches has significantly dropped. But they don't make many watches so perhaps they'll still sell everything they make, but just have to make more calls than they used to.
