I've never had to do this before...
...but I just set a watch "free".
When I wanted a 16610, I asked my AD to let me know when it came in (this was right before a price increase, beat it by a week I think). It did and I bought it. I said, I just wanted to see the new ceramic 116710 when it came out. I didn't think I'd buy it, but I did. Well, my AD just called me about a PAM 372.......I had to let it go. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why didn't that lotto ticket come through! ![]() edit: btw, the watch is going to the next person on the list, so no need to ask.

When it rains it pours I guess. I do have a nice consolation prize though. Hopefully I can get that 372 in the future.

Well, I sold the IIc eventually. I still have the 16610, but I passed on buying the 372.

If you "can" get one, get one.

The 372 will be plentiful (new and used) in a few months. You'll have another shot.

I do! Truth be told, if my AD had called me before the 390, I'd have a 372 on my wrist and be having the same conversation about the 390.
Fingers crossed that I got the "harder" one first!

IMHO, i think you "lucked out" getting the 390 call first....it really fits you well.

Mik, thats harsh. I bought 4 Rolex's in Sept. Then after a month, a dealer emailed me my grail watch. Pam 237 was located. So guess what I bought. close to as new as you can
get. Now I have a Rollie or 2 to sell. I feel your pain. |

Personally I think you did well getting the 390. There should be lots of 372's out there going forward

Mik, down here we have quite a number of 372 not being sold. And a few pre-owned ones too... Is it still hard to get up there?

I may be wrong, but I think the 372 will be plentiful and discounted once the fever pitch subsides (which it seems is already starting).
