[speedy_master1]

can someone confirm this? I thought on all AP models that you buy from boutique comes with 5 year warranty? sow all New 2015 models AP that you buy from AD not Boutique also comes with 5 year warranty?

From AD, 2 years only with option to extend one year. Only selected boutiques offer 5 years warranty.

No idea. You need to check with them directly. So far I know SG, HK and NYC offers 5 years. Tokyo does not. The additional 2 years warranty from boutique is local only.

Well I got mine from the AP showroom in Paris and the director talked about the 2+1 but not 5 years...

I was told (and have in writing) that i'm covered for 5 years. I bought at the Miami boutique.

Only ones bought at Boutiques do but you are paying for it. Boutique's don't discount so they throw in some goodies and 5 years warranty which is really 2 extra years since AP gives you an extra year if you waterproof test your watch before 2 years are up. Also most get nice discount on AP's at retailers maybe 20-25% so again you are paying a hefty premium for extra warranty which you don't know if you'll ever use. That is a big price tag IMHO for a few extra years which won't ever pay off when you are talking about nice discount on expensive watch. Think about it...

Not a 'policy' of AP, but rather used at select AP Boutiques (as many have noted this boutique in this country does, but others do not--Ginza is great example). NYC does offer it and they do offer 10% off (if they know you), but for me I probably won't keep the watch 3 years even, so it's not worth it.

However if you are buying 'Boutique only' pieces (and AP will start pushing that model more in the future FYI), then selecting a Boutique offering 5 years obviously makes sense.

Iam looking at the 15202 but how do you get 20 to 25% discount? I saw some for sale by TRF sell section but was not much on the new one. Any other place you know off?

You could probably buy from a non-boutique with a discount, then get the watch serviced after the 3 year period just for the 2 year warranty that comes with a service, and still save money as opposed to paying full price for the 5 year warranty
