Congrats! I didn’t know this watch was hard to get. Why didn’t you just take it home instead of having it shipped (does that cost extra?)

If you ship to a state where there are no boutiques, then you save on taxes. In other words I saved 8.25% of Vegas taxes by shipping it back home. Had to pay $250 for shipping and insurance. The boutique handles the whole process. It’s fairly common practice.

Impressed that they just pulled it out from the back! I went into the same boutique asking about the openworks and was told of the fabled VIP client list. I was disappointed to say the least.

It took about 20 minutes of conversation. Made it very clear I was ready to buy.

Oh no, I would contact APS to get it take care. It would ruin the feeling everytime you look at the watch

It’s already in the repair process. Should be back to me in 2 weeks with a complimentary extra link attached.

Great news to hear. AP service is one of the BIG +’s in my opinion. Should give you peace of mind too that they are taking care of you

Such a cool story. I always stop into AD's and boutiques (often multiple times in one trip) just to see if I can get lucky!

Have you had a lucky experience so far?

Out of the many times I have done it, one time I got 'lucky'. It was this past summer and RO white/silver dials weren't very hard to come by. It was in the boutique and maybe lasted 2 days before it was sold. I passed on another recently when the boutique got yet another in and called me because I wanted a dark dial. I held out and got my black dial finally.

I wish we had x ray vision and could see what really is or isn't hiding in the back rooms!
