Boodles in Sloane street London
Anyone got any experience with this AD? Is it possible to get 5212 from them?

I went there to see 5212 and 5168. I like 5212, the dial and everything. But I am disappointed with the pin buckle.

The 5168 green dial is disappointing. The green dial is not as vibrant as 5168 blue. The green dial is quite solid.

It is possible to get one from them but if you are not an existing customer they will ask you to buy jewellery or another Patek (a PM Calatrava, AC etc) to get a 5212A.

You will be able to get one from the London Salon if you are willing to wait couple of years.

Those are awesome. Do you have a wrist shot of the 5212? It looks great. By the way the Patek grenade doesn’t look as big as advertised at 42mm. It looks kinda cool.

well, I was there at 4:30pm and they were about to close the shop already which was one hour before their official closing time. They quickly got the two pieces that I wanted to see. And I left the shop within 5 mins

Absolutely correct, he is the man with the gifts. I can recall Jamie had helped members to get difficult to obtain watches when they say they were sent by Mr Wanfu Lai AKA "Brian" so worth a try.
