AP in Houston, TX

Guys,
Because of my old age and shrinking wrist, I have decided that most suitable RO for me is 15450 Blue. So today I paid to Zadok to see what they have. All together they had like 10 pieces available, which is a lot less than few years when I last visited the store. Naturally they did not have it available, but the very kind lady promised to let me know what she can do about it. So I was just wondering what is going on in this 4th biggest US city? AP seems to be very poorly represented.

Well he is a Priest so...

Have there been terrorist strikes all over Switzerland? Seems like low supply is infiltrating every Maison these days...

Would you consider the new grey dial released SIHH 2017? I know where one of those is and the price is fair

If you think Houston is bad how do you think London feels

poorly represented yes, but then again AP isn't big in most parts of the US from my experience. I was there a few months ago (before the hurricane) and they seemed to have pretty good stock. A pt 44, a couple 42mm ROO, a few 15400's and 15450's, RG ROC, a RO Tourbillon to name a few.

Their F.P. Journe stock was pretty crazy and i was shocked at that. They seem like one of the better AD's i have ever been to in the states, plus they don't sell Rolex so they go under the radar for the most part. For sure though its the best AD in the world located next to a Luby's cafeteria.

You are correct. Actually this lady was trying to sell me FP Journe. This time I was not interested. Have seen couple of AP's here. Older gentleman with blue 15400 and couple of "rap dudes" with bigger ones.
