All this advertising / olympic sponsorship has me craving an Omega

For you experts... I’m a first-timer (pun!) buying lux watches. I’m looking at an updated model of a JSC (geographic), to be released sometime Q4 this year. MSRP is 12k few questions:
1) what is realistic price ballpark from an AD (I’m not in a hurry)
2) any advice for reaching out to ADs, especially given this isn’t yet released? I.e., any common mistakes to avoid?
3) MSRP includes leather strap, and looking at current model prices, metal strap adds ~2k to price. Sound right?

Thank you all!

AD called and offered me a DJ41, azzurro blue dial, fluted bezel ref no. 126334. Visited AD last Sunday (10/02) for the first time. I feel fluted bezels are a bit flashy, but unable to decide if I should wait for a smooth bezel, given the wait times and uncertainty associated with Rolex. Any suggestions?
