Jumbo in Las Vegas

Stopped by the new AP boutique in Las Vegas. I got to see the Jumbo for the first time. I can definitely see why it's so popular. I tried on both the RG and SS and actually preferred the SS. According to the salesman the SS Jumbo is only available in the boutiques. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I can definitely see this one in my future.

If it's boutique only, that is a recent change. It wasn't in 2014.

I'd heard that the 15400 blue dial was boutique only, but not the Jumbo (not trying to answer my own question).

I was told by two ADs that the 15400 blue is boutique only, 15202 SS and RG are available through AD.

Might be different from country to country, though.

Readily available from your favorite Trusted Reseller right here--have it in 24 hours.

Great watch BTW and that "AP Boutique" in LV is really owned by Westime not AP

15202 can be had at any AP AD.

The only Boutique only pieces in the regular production line up is 15400 Blue dial, and Ceramic 44s.

The 15202 can be found at an AD. Salesman was just trying to get you to buy it.

I've heard its boutique only, but have also heard otherwise.

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and went to the AP boutique at the Venetian; I can tell you the sales rep didn't know anything about what he was selling. Kept telling me that 15202 blue dial was 41 mm...

ive seen them on this forum for 18k... still under warranty and what not. I'd go that route.

Well that's because there is NO boutique at the Venetian...you went to an AD. And yes, they are worthless

WOW, another highly specialized salesperson, I've had a few telling me great BS in order to sell me a piece, but haven't had to deal with one so incompetent as this one

Jumbo in Las Vegas

Shoot. I was excited there for a moment...

So no actual AP boutique in Las Vegas? I was hoping to try on a Ceramic Diver during my next trip there.

It's presumably like the Rolex Boutiques. It appears to be one but in reality is operated by a third party. It's in Crystals by Aria and the Mandarin.

It's actually a boutique I think, it's listed on the AP website as a boutique and when I was there a couple months ago I tried on the ceramic diver.

I understand, but not owned or operated by AP.

Do they own and operate any? It's not clear from their web site; all boutiques seem to be the same on there.

They own NYC. Do not know about Bal Harbour.

There is AD at the Palazzo and there is an AP boutique at the Crystals @ Aria.

The AD in Palazzo has a very small selection, you can skip it.

The boutique has a very nice selection of APs.
