I called into my local AD the other day for a chat about the new seamaster. Surprisingly the chap said they expect delivery to start in august, not November.
However, he also said they won't have a demo/shop model and will basically be getting one in at a time. They'll then contact people on the waiting list and order a new one in when they sell the first one.
Is that normal? Either they expect you to buy a 4 grand watch without trying it on, or you can try it on and if you buy it, it may have been worn by a cluster of guys before you who turned it down. If I'm paying that price for a watch, from an AD I was expecting it would be a certified virgin, which had known no ones wrist other than mine?
