Would anyone be able to tell me if the Patek Philippe 5396R is..(reposted to HOME for Dom)
a very limited production model that will be discontinued soon? The reason I am asking is because it seems to be so hard to get and every dealer I have asked seems to have received only one or two. Some even said none at all. I really like this watch but I really don't know if I should give in already to the premium of the traders or just wait patiently from the dealers. I actually have a major fear issue to deal with waiting for it from a dealer because I had been promised a 5970 by my dealer before but then he backed out. I had several other opportunities to get it from other dealers but this dealer friend of mine promised me that he could get it for me. That's why right now, I really have a hard time waiting. Thanks
