What time is it? Watches and horology

Yes.
Just not immediately and it very much depends on what you want.
I had a client of mine who generally is an omega collector walk into goldsmiths in Oxford and bought a non date sub off the shelf. He’d never even been into the store before. So it does happen. This was two years ago between lockdowns but still. Makes a mockery of the “list “ in that store and all the poor buggers who had been waiting for them to just sell one to a stranger.
