Playing the AD game again

[WatchNutcase]

I'm at it again guys, playing the AD games.

Last year I played the game and won a Sub 114060, the purchase of a Tudor 1926 was needed for this.

This time I'm after a Pepsi or the impossible Daytona, but I have a 10k jewellery purchase for the GF to pair with it this time.

I'm getting fairly muted / canned responses from my two favourite AD's both of which have come through for me in the past. I've been asking them directly if they could simply give me a time frame on the watch if I purchased the jewellery with them, but they've been unable to even mention that the watch is even a possibility.

The thing is, I can buy this same piece of jewellery at a non-AD for 4k less. So I'm not sure if it's worth spending the extra 4k to reinforce my relationship with one of the AD's.

Would love to hear from the veterans on which way to proceed in this case.
