Was invited to dinner with the NA CEO. Excited to say the least. Would love to get some insight but does anyone think this could up my chances for getting a timepiece?

Like a grail openworked piece or a 15450?

I don’t think the dinner will help….run the tab up at your AD and continue to maintain enthusiasm, trust, and regular contact

Btw is this just a random dinner or like a regional thing?

well, can't hurt (unless you puke and faint at the table). Some specifics would be helpful if you actually want an answer.

She’s awesome, you’ll enjoy it. She’s a great executive and has been learning the industry very quickly.

How about you give us some insight? Do you have any prior customer relationship with AP? If not, how did you get this invitation?

Maybe OP will be back, but so far this looks more like a hit-and-run flex than a real question.

Probably not - I hear every prospective customer gets invited to dinner with the CEO. Especially ones with zero watches and zero chance to get a watch.

Yes they usually give away a piece of your choice for the most outrageous question of the evening. Get your thinking cap on!

No disrespect is intended here, but new poster, first and only post ever... Asking us this question.

I'd argue that the NA CEO can give you a much better answer than any of us can.

Out of topic, but would you mind sharing me your profile picture? That's a couple of piece you have there!

How can you run up a tab if they have nothing to sell!!!!

Jsol · 23 October 2021, 03:50 PM

I've done exclusive AP dinners and they will gift you great swag like a collectible book or a special high-end pen. But, the option to buy a sought after piece js still based on previous spending record.

If you're EXTREMELY OPEN to buying anything at all... pretty sure they'll come up with something quickly within a few days or so.

You just may not like it.

Base on my own personal experience, they may offer you something to purchase
Just chat with them and show them your passion for the brand and why you like certain AP models
