I practically ALWAYS ask the dealer if a specific watch is available before pulling the trigger.
Once only I didn't because it's a recent model and because I added it last second while I was also taking something else (that I got confirmation were in stock).
Result?
Out of stock.
This one, fyi:
Now, what to do? Wait for stock or searching something else? I'd prefer to wait for a restock 'cause there are not many watches attracting me these days...
I could eventually go for a Pam Bronzo (but still I didn't get if it's better the KW or Z-Factory one), or a PP Nautilus (again not clear if it's better to go for Miyota or Sellita version, and moreover I'm searching for a gold one), or even change totally my lookout and take a BR 03 Type Aviation (but I've to add good amount of other money there)...
