Maybe AP tried to get in touch with him to pick up his desired AP but he took too long to reply |

Glad to see the Covid era folks starting to dissipate for sure. Hopefully we can get back to talking about watches and not just values and such...

Very well said! AP is a great brand, and the outgoing CEO did a heck of job in bringing to where the brand is today. Relationship building is a tricky thing and the answers are not always the ideal one especially with many moving components - high demand, new SAs/RMs, exclusivity strategy, new product launches going beyond what was initially expected, etc. But a new era is fast approaching, hopefully better times ahead.

Good luck. AP only deals with celebs and rich people from China or oil countries. I know someone who has a few QP's, Codes, you name it, and they won't get him his next requested piece.

There seem to be at least a few handful of counterexamples to your claim among the local TRF population (as well as your acquaintance).

I think he's just humble bragging since he hails from the biggest region of the biggest oil country. So his friend can't get it, but if you have Texas oil money, whooo weee....times are good.

Regardless - it seems like AP is hit or miss. Some have stellar experiences, like those who walk in for the first time and are offered ROO's, while others do not. YMMV but I think that is why many leave the brand (or any brand) for others. |

Closing my AP chapter
One thing for sure, AP is consistently inconsistent. That’s the exciting part…
what’s the fun in *knowing* you’ll get a hot piece? They are in this business for another 100 years. They can’t/won’t sell you every piece requested. You’ll be bored by year 4. Also, It’s way better when I get a hot piece and my boss doesn’t. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

First AP. First RO. I like the inconsistency.
