Fixing appointment at AP Singapore

Hi all,

I have been trying to fix an appointment to the boutique online but the website doesn't work. I am not sure if it's a technical issue or a matter of non-availability of timeslots.

As I am keen to purchase a Offshore, could any Singapore AP client recommend their SE to me?

I would also like to offer a referral to a SE for patek or Rolex.

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Aston

Don't think any offshores are readily available to purchase from my recent visit to the boutique at Liat Tower.

Am waiting for my first piece too.

Have been on the list for a nearly year.

Thanks for sharing!

I understand the current overwhelming demand and I am actually just looking to get an appointment so that I can be considered for an Offshore in the future.

I am blocked from even securing an appointment online puzzlingly.

May I know how did u get to visit the boutique?

Easiest approach is to call directly.

What is the likelihood of getting the 37MM 15550 as a first-timer? Obviously will have to wait it out but do I have to purchase a Code etc first?

Depends on your profile and how well you vibe with your SA, but the objective answer is no.

I would like to take the 1st step to request for a RO Offshore. Hopefully with the plunging resale value for ROO, the flippers will reject the allocations and more watches are available for real collectors.

Good luck on that. Seems like you genuinely want an offshore, and it is true that the current Grey prices make it more attainable. I’m very sure that the boutiques are aware of market prices, and aware of when a customer buys a watch which has miniMal premium. When I got my 15500 in early 2020, the premium was negligible.

My brother recently got his 26420 blue titanium as a first AP purchase. A killer watch!

Visited 2 stores few days ago. Despite having zero foot traffic and zero watch to sell, they require an appointment. Was able to get one and try a couple of pieces.

The one in orchard had a dozen of models (offshore, code, ro). the staff was pretty helpful, i had a great experience.

Also went to a couple of 3p stores like watch exchange where they had a bunch of pieces (rolex, patek, ap).

When you said "was able to get one", do you meant that you get to buy one watch from the boutique?

That's amazing if this is true.

I think he meant he was able to get an appointment and try on some pieces.

Just send them an email and that will work! (Did the same last month when I was trying to get an appointment). Happy to chat further over PM if you have any questions! Good luck on the ROO! I got my allocation late last year and been loving it ever since!
