My experience at the boutique has always been superb even months/year before I got my first allocation. I think most of the people here concur to that experience. But it does take more than one or two casual visit to get any allocations though. I never feel that I was “begging” for a watch; more so they can know you better as a collector.

What I mean is that I reached out (they never reach out to me and never received an email) and my SA told me to come in because they had some exhibition pieces to look at. We made an appointment, I show up and he tells me they actually sent it back. Then said he’d call me when he gets it back and never did.
I’ve been in several times, always emailing, checking in and making appointments. I’ve brought my family (including my young child) to the boutique chat watches, I’ve brought watch friends, I’ve brought my own watch collection (including independents like a Voutilainen to talk watches). And I never get an email from the boutique. I filled out a client card, etc. I don’t think I’m an a**, I’ve also only requested a CS and have been collecting watches for 20+ years (ever since I was a child). I find it all a pretty bad experience. They are always nice, but they never follow through.
