Exactly this
Although I was luck enough to walk in and buy a GMT Master II after getting my command.
Stupid thing is they're not rare at all, just the whole watch collecting hobby is being ruined by grey market flippers.
Although saying that I did get a call from my AD after buying some other watches there, that my place had come up for a Pepsi.
Was on a long trip and they said if i couldn't pick it up within 3days, it went to the next person on the list. And no I couldn't send anyone else to pick it up. When I explained the manager said OK don't worry next one that comes is yours, that was 3yrs ago...
