I tend to believe in the “wait lists”.
Personally for me most came true with time(except the 5711 white dial).
Recently I got the call from VC for the perpetual overseas, in 2020, a Patek 5320 from Tiffany’s, now on the recently confirmed spot on AP offshore, Omega Speedy 321(next year delivery), and well Rolex… but here I just tell my AD what I’m interested and in a few months they deliver…
Yes, I’m a patient man, how can you win if you never try?
But I must admit that I don’t buy any jewelry or watch just to get the one I want, that’s a big No-No!
