If they did not have the watch in stock, they'd really only know what's coming in a day or two prior (max) when the distributor provides them with a manifest.

I did like how you proverbially "switched the tables" on them.
Agree

If they say there are certain models coming in, then they have them already and are ascertaining your interest, without embarrassing themselves that they actually have unsold stock

From speaking to jewellers very recently in London, I have a good idea of the models and colourways which are fairly easy to obtain, and it is better then a year ago for sure

Nice to see the SA spend time with you despite your transparency.

I may have missed it, but I don't think you mentioned which size you preferred.

Thank you. Point taken on the talk text
