Northern California AP options?

[hellofromthebay]

Hello, I’m in San Francisco and obviously interested in purchasing an AP. I can’t seem to find any authorized dealers in San Francisco or Northern California. Does anyone know of any authorized AP dealers in the area?

yea unfortunately there’s nothing up here. there used to be an AD not far from sf but not for a couple years anymore. i bought mine at the boutique in beverly hills.

Thanks for confirming. I was worried I was missing something obvious. Guess not. In Beverly Hills is getting a watch there as hard as getting a Rolex sport model? Is it worth taking the time to visit their store in BH?

my understanding is that it’s just as hard anywhere you go. i was lucky and got a very quick allocation for the 15450 as a first time buyer just over two years ago, i managed to get it just before the market went absolutely nuts. from what i hear even the 15450s are hard to get now.
i got mine literally just over the phone, asked about it they said they could get it in a few months and then i just put the deposit right there. you could try calling and see what they say, but an actual visit might be better.
also i take into account that that is beverly hills so any of the even harder to get models will likely go to well established big buyers they have as locals.

BH or Vegas has a few shops. I would suggest reaching out to one of the AP owned boutiques for assistance.

There was an AD in Union Square. Wasn’t a good one.
The one in Menlo Park was better.
But both no more.

I worked with a NY AD on my recent Diver purchase.
We really need a boutique/AD in this area.

Go to Beverly hills or Vegas. Those are the closest options
