AP is greedy and arrogant in biting the hands that fed them via. the AD channel. I recently emailed kindly to request a catalogue and they replied telling me that they do not mail customers/prospectives catalogues anymore. The only solution they gave me was to "physically" visit an AP dealer who was 400+ miles away just for a catalogue.

Looks like my next watch will come from Patek Philippe since their level of arrogance isn't as extreme compared to AP.

Can't you just browse their website? It's basically the same thing actually. I am not sure if PP will mail their bulky catalog books and brochures. I usually pick them up from the store also.

Actually I've dealt Patek via. ADs and service centers before. Very pleasant on with both sides.
