It also bothered me - after being asked to place a deposit - to have them offer me a watch someone else had put a deposit on if I came in to purchase then and there.

She was very glib and unapologetic and after that asked if I wanted to try it on one more time. Then she stonewalled me on information about SIHH even though other saleswomen had shown me pictures.

I'm moving away from AP in general and this will hasten the transition. That and the awful resale lately.

Piss poor service but polar opposite to the quality of the Beverly Hills boutique.

My goodness... AP management should really hear about this. Very unacceptable behaviour from AP boutique in New York.
