Haha, fair enough. Circumstances have changed
a lot since then, and I've changed, as well- no lottery needed. I intend to make my first Patek purchase either later this year or early next year- so no, I don't view this as an "exercise in futility" but rather due diligence.
To that end, the questions I'm asking in this thread stand on their own: (1) how does one find a Patek Philippe dealer they can trust, and (2) does it even make sense to buy through the AD?
Both questions are income/budget-agnostic, and despite the responses of several here, I'm thankful that most members caught onto the questions earlier in the thread and provided really good, helpful insight.
