Its the usuall problem:
Breitling tells them, they will only get one or two watches at all. They ordered 10 to get at least some. And the salespeople did not believe their representativ that they will get only so few watches. Now, You come into the store, as one of the first interested in that watch, They accept Your deposit, knowing to have ordered maybe 10 watches, so expecting at least 5... Couple of days later some guy (regular well known customer) buys a solid gold watch and wants the Blacksteel as well. Whom will they sell the first watch, they get? For the next watch coming in the store, a good friend of the boss is in the store by chance and decides to take it. Bang! Next possibility gone. There should come some more, the depositors shall wait. Then suddenly the bad news: No more watch to come.... Ups!
That story is not reality, but it can happen easily.
