I was told it can happen when people whose watches come in don’t respond to the AD trying to contact them to collect. They go in the case and get sold within half an hour. Definitely lucky, especially these days, but it does happen apparently.
That’s definitely lucky - though what I would say is there seems to be a little more confidence in getting hold of the more sought after watches. 2020 I was told very, very unlikely to be able to get a sub, now that has changed to possibly this year 😂
Friend of mine walked into an AD and bought an Explorer at list - is this A Thing That Happens, or is that blind luck on his part?
