I'm in UT for the next year or so and there's no AD in this state.

Given local isn't an option, any specific ADs you guys would recommend? I've been to the one in Nevada but couldn't stay very long as my friends were with me.

In my experience, Manhattan boutique for sure.

Bal Harbour. Great experience there

Best boutique will mean different things to different people. For some it’s the prettiest presentation with beautiful displays. For others it will be a small shop in an obscure location that has kind employees and always seems to have a sub available when others don’t.

Isn’t there an AD in Park City? Or am I mistaken.

Nope unfortunately. Maybe you're thinking of the OC Tanner location up there, but they definitely don't deal AP. I was just there a few months ago. Mostly Rolex + some Richemont brands. Nice guys though!

My mistake, I’m on Tapatalk and didn’t see that this was posted in the AP sub forum.

Regarding AP, the folks in Vegas are friendly as was the team in NYC and hit it off with Manny in Brickell Miami just last week.

Paris was not so friendly and wasted my time after I had several communications via email, made an appt to visit and then they basically sat me down and told me they only sell to locals

NYC and Dallas (new) are both great.

Grnvette65 · 22 October 2020, 11:50 PM

NYC, they are so patient and helpful

dardeca · 23 October 2020, 01:17 AM

NYC and Bal Harbour.

The one where you can buy the watch you want.

WatchEater666 · 24 October 2020, 04:26 AM

Good call on Dallas. Just got off a call with them and had a good experience.

mustangtornado · 25 October 2020, 05:42 AM

Bal Harbour.

Skyrider01 · 26 October 2020, 02:33 AM

Another vote for Bal Harbour.

GB-man · 26 October 2020, 08:55 AM

boochook · 27 October 2020, 06:53 AM

Wish there was a boutique or at least an AD located in the Washington DC area.

Raemondo · 28 October 2020, 03:18 AM

Since you are West, I would go Westime.

myporsche · 28 October 2020, 08:37 AM

Avoid the b*llsht Westime boutiques such as LA. NYC is good for me.

NYC , avoid Westime in Miami.

m3jasper · 29 October 2020, 06:38 AM

NYC boutique has always been direct and fair with me, can't ask more of them.

I also have several colleagues that speak very highly of Bal Harbour, but I don't have any direct sales experience with them. FWIW, I did visit once and they were very friendly to me.

GS93108 · 29 October 2020, 06:56 AM

I had very poor experiences with Westime in Beverly Hills, I think the sales lady and I were instant adversaries and neither of us could over come that. However, the RM boutique on Rodeo which was also Westime owned was great. That was a few years ago and since then I believe that the Westime in Beverly Hills is now partly owned by AP, so things may have changed.

I also give a thumbs up to Bal Harbor, whilst I've not been there in person they were extremely helpful over the phone and by email and they even invited me to a golf day.

Anyone have any experiences at Swiss Fine Timing in Chicago?

Yes. I can’t recommend them enough but your expectations need to be based in reality. At the end of the day, APs remain in extremely high demand and the production is going to remain limited.

They are opening up a new AP dedicated boutique soon. I saw it last week - it’s still under construction - and was super impressed at how elaborate and classy it is. I can’t wait for it to open!

PM me if you want to discuss anything specific.

They are nice and will give you the time of day (if not a SS RO). West time in Brickell (Miami) are generally nice as well, but you probably won't get anything you want there (Unless you want a Code).

JodyHighroller · 11 November 2020, 01:57 PM

Is the Boston boutique open yet?
