Times have changed. AD’s don’t need you as much as you need them. Now it’s what have you done for me lately. It sucks but that’s the way it is now.

Actually, I wasn't referring to the 5370P. Nice watch, though.

My AD is also out-of-state, where I've found better results. However, if you'd like to discuss Chicago-area ADs and compare notes, feel free to PM me. I'll have a lot to say, lol

There is no.longer Buyer Power. It's all in hands if AD. When certain AD's get free business classntockets and accommodation from.NT and London to Dubai I can only guess whi gets looked after first!!! It certainly isnt Joe Public. That's just human nature...so sadly the rich will get the pickings and we just hope the left ivet crumbs are nice enough for the rest of us mere.mortals!!

Find a new AD. If you have a relationship with your AD with any purchase history it should help when it comes to other pieces, clearly your AD is greedy. |

That is a great question. My AD relationship is with a huge European jeweler in a small city - mostly Rolex. When I wanted to expand brands for an AP, the store director called the other boutique store running AP to make an intro and pass my loyalty brand to the. Keep in my mind it is the same larger company. While I have not gotten what I wanted, I am on the list and have been treated exceptional.

Slightly unrelated but is the Aquanaut able to take much abuse? Is it a real tool watch or just pretending? Ie needs to be pampered.

I like that in your thumbnail you take British understatement to the extreme by calling your watch: Daytona. Well played.
