Is it worth changing your schedule for this fluke while on holiday? IMO no.

Agree. Just give it a try. If you have the time.

Visiting LA ADs in Person?

I'd recommend Geary's in LA. Nice staff and frequently have TT or PM pieces.

Ooh Geary’s I have heard nice things! South Coast did have the two variants of 116520 in stock for me—a random afternoon call-in inquiry from Los Angeles, which I was happy to stumble upon even in late October of that year. I was pleasantly shocked, so it could be worth a call as well. I don’t recall if it was Tourneau owned at that point in time though! Definitely sucks others have had such poor experiences. I have not gone back to this day, if that helps lol.
