You have no entitlement to a product just because its produced. Where there is a scarcity, those with the product can make choices who to sell to.  If you are a bit of a cock or appearing entitled, I can see why a dealer may choose to make a client jump through some hoops. If you are polite, respectful (to both the product and the salespeople) you know what - you may just get what you are looking for.  Dealers also play the long game - if you are likely to be a repeat client, it is in their interest to look after you. There are plenty of stories out there bout people getting the watch they want without a buying history, with a little bit of patience, a demonstrated interest and a polite disposition. I suggest people just try. What have you got to lose?
