Nor will you find one locally.
at least from an Authorized Dealer in the US. That model is the Non-US model with the new style "Speedy" bracelet, and is not sold in the US by Authorized Dealers. The US model number is 2054.50.00 and has the older style "Bond" bracelet.
However, that bracelet is sold in the US seperately. Therefore, it is possible for a US Authorized Dealer to swap the old style bracelet for the new style bracelet if he is willing to. Obviously, the dealer doesn't want to build up a stock of bracelets he can't sell, and you probably won't get this kind of accomodation from a large chain store with the automotons that work in in.
My Dealer is usually willing to swap bracelets, assuming he keeps the right balance described above, and he will also do as well as the places you mentioned. Check your E-Mail for a referral.
