It's a famous meme in the watch hobby that it is more than a big rigmarole, that you have to offer up your wife to the authorized dealer and become best friends with them and then buy a bunch of watches you don't actually want before being put on the wait list for VIPs to get the watch that you do really want.
I've tried and the wait list if you are not a preferred customer is fake, they never contact you. The stainless steel/sports models are the ones that are always in short supply. You can go into a store and find gold and jeweled ones all the time.
That's why grey market is more than MSRP in many cases.
