Does anyone know what is going on with AP in LV? the only dealer now is the store in the lobby of the Venetian (store in forum shops closed), and that store is pretty poorly stocked. Seems like they are letting the brand wither and die in LV, or perhaps clearing the way for a boutique? Compared to almost every other brand AP seems to be MIA in LV. Thoughts?

All I can say is that the one and only AP dealer in San Francisco never has any stock.

Yeah, SF is really disappointing as well.

I think they opened a boutique inside Crystals.

Not yet. I was there yesterday. There are literally 5 APs for sale in the city. Just very weird when literally every other brand is well represented.

I have to agree with you guys about the SF AD now. But,Before I purchased my 44 mm Novelty, I went their and tried on the models they did have and I had great service from the lady in the shop (no complaints). Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, it was a totally different visit. First I was greeted at the front door with a long stare before I was buzzed in (almost like he was debating about letting me in). Then, when I asked did they have any of the new models, I was coldly told " you will see when you get up stairs".
That day I had on my Pam 233, when I got to the watches, the old guy asked me if I was just looking or buying, I said both and quickly left there without looking at anything and went a few doors down to Shreve & Co. While there I received first rate treatment and actually purchased a Panerai 24 mm accordion rubber strap. It's just sad that the only AP represenative , just don't care if he sell the watches or not. As far as LV goes, I will be down there the end of FEB, so I can give an update on the matter then.

Good to know. Hopefully the staff will be better than at the RM boutique in Crystals.

I was there a couple weeks ago (the venetian store) and it was poorly stocked and displayed in my opinion.

When will we get one in Austin?

I went to a dealer in Houston and they only had about 15-20 but did have some 15400's and some ROO's
