Yup, I've heard that when I inquired about the Tudor Pelagos 39 and the FXD. Two year wait for those, they said. Meanwhile, HQ Milton has a Pelagos FXD listed for $3,750 right now. Topper in Burlingame had one just recently for about $4,200 out the door. They love to play up the "scarcity", they'll try to make a Black Bay Pro seem like a Rolex Explorer II or the green dial Seamaster Diver 300M seem like a Submariner and how you're so lucky they have one available right now. And don't even get me started on the Omega Summer Blue models. "Very limited", "We've never seen one, ever!", blah blah blah. It's like they're completely unaware you can order one directly from the Omega website nowadays or you can get one with a decent discount on the pre-owned market (OC Watch Guy has one for $5,795 right now). |

Kerns website says theirs will be the third mono-brand boutique in the US. So this one will be the fourth? Or is this different from Kerns and the one in BH?

New to this forum but been a watch enthusiast for years.
I thought I would break the ice with this as I recall a rather uncomfortable experience visiting this boutique my last time in CA. It was at their location in the mall and I was interested in Patek and asked what it would take to get into the brand on an entry level. The lady asked very specific questions relative to what i do for living, where exactly do I live, own or rent, what other brands do I collect and which pieces I have in collection, what I do for fun etc… I understand the boutique wants to truly understand the client before allocating them something from one of the most in demand brands in the world. But the line of questioning got a bit uncomfortable and almost too personal for me. It didn’t feel right, almost felt like they were screening me in a caste system process. I simply walked and still trying to find the right boutique. |

It appears CH lost their SoCal status with Patek. Could their NorCal location be next? Or perhaps they get to consolidate all their allocations into NorCal when the boutique opens?

I think all the deeeeep pockets and new tech money makes the Valley Fair experience kinda unpleasant. They don’t have to offer any customer service at all! The next rich clown to walk through the door will just slap down their credit card. CH is not horrible, but they themselves will acknowledge the phenomenon. Their selection of PP is very thin, and they say that the “phenomenon” is the reason — too much money floating around. The Breitling / JLC boutique is slightly better, and Cartier is always helpful. The Licht Rolex place is truly horrible. I would NEVER buy anything there. Incredibly snobby and knowledge is so poor.
I hope the CH “boutiques” are better, but I am not expecting much. I limit my interactions to a quick browse for entertainment. |
