New to PP.......

Is it possible for someone with no purchase history to get any aquanaut at an AD without bundling?

I think you will need two qualifying purchases of non steel watches to have any chance.

Every AD is different. But most will probably require some back scratching.

Have you starred in any Netflix or Disney movies lately? Do Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise go around bragging that they're good friends with you, in order to impress people? Is Hailey Bieber thinking of leaving Justin so she can date you? Have you dumped Gigi Hadid because she was not longer interesting enough?
If the answer to these questions is no then so is the answer to your question, above.

I went recently to my favorite local AD who carries many brands to inquire the same. Even with multiple purchases in recent years, I was told to not even bother and that I will likely never see one. A little disappointing but what can you do.

You have 4 possibilities:
- Date someone whose dad has a great mojo with PP
- Look for something else easier to get
- Buy at the grey market
- Bury that idea. :(

Yes. It is possible if you are lucky enough to go in when an uncollected or unalocated one turns up.

I should have added that my AD gets two allocations a year from their request list which is not matched by supply they receive. Ask your AD when they get their supply … advised in February arrive in March.. .. then go an hassle / sweet talk etc around that period.

Dealers ares not allowed to insist on other purchases , if they try it on it’s just sales arm twisting. If they have an unallocated/collected model in they will want to turn it into cash asap.

Good luck! Perseverance furthers!
