A reasonable question remains...
If a watch store representing itself as the second largest PP AD in North America tells a serious collector that the watch is discontinued, and then if there is no verification, what representation, if any, is a rational collector supposed to believe?
I ended up purchasing a pre owned model because my AD told me that he could not order a 5296, regardless of how long I was willing to wait. The precise quote to me was that the watch "is discontinued".
If the 5296 is still available, my AD just lost a sale because of inept management or poor communication. Also, if a previous post accurately describes that only a handful of AD's will receive the 5296 G, then either my AD wasn't aware as such, or, did not make the proper disclosure. None of the above makes me particularly enthusiastic (unless my AD correctly appraised me).
Lastly, I wasn't talking rumor; and I am not recommending that anyone buy or sell anything based on my post. I am saying that the statements from a leading AD should comport with reality. And it is to my fellow Purists that I turn to for clarification. I am left presuming that until I officially hear from Mr. Stern, his agents' statements should be disregarded. And that's a sad fact to face.
However, the 5296 puts a smile on my face
