Got a text that this watch was available for purchase - are these hard to come by that I should jump on it? Thanks in advance.

It's very easy to get. If you don't want please let me know. I buy it from your AD.

My dealer likes to have a relationship with his buyers so I don’t get the sense he is open to referrals for a one off sale. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the input. Before I got on here to post my initial thread, I did see the asking price was two times MSRP so that suggests it is somewhat in demand but can’t tell if there are sales and final prices to truly know.

Going to assume best intent here - that you’re seeking to understand my thread seeking input with the three consecutive question marks and not trying to throw judgmental shade with your post. This watch has been on my wish list for some time - @ six years. Since I don’t track watch trends as I did in the past, I am trying to ascertain if there is still the mad scarcity demand for PP timepieces or can I pass on this watch and get it in a year after I outlay money for other large bills.

If $42K would stretch your budget currently, even after waiting 6+ years, I think buying it now isn't wise.

Life happens and you owe it to yourself/family to address the looming large bills.

The question is for your AD, clearly sounds like you want the piece. So if you pass on this allocation when will he next be able to offer you the piece (assuming it’s not discontinued)
