Why can’t we all just get along on the AP forum again
Tyler come back to the darkside...... You seem overdue for a Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar! |

HK has seen a pretty big shift in the AP retail landscape. There used to be well over a dozen retailers, and a lot of them have been closed up (including a few boutiques). The former boutique in HK before AP opened up a company one was run by Carlson, which has now been downgraded to a tiny booth in their shop, and not surprisingly, they had the saddest selection of inventory out of all the shops I stepped into in HKG. |

I can’t imagine buying a 20k+ watch sight unseen. Some of you hill folk are quite brave.

I guess the problem AP have with me is that despite owning many APs, I bought about half of them only from boutiques and the rest from ADs and did not buy all of them from the same boutique.

That said, I will still continue to keep all my existing APs for near future and enjoy them. They are after all very nice watches.

Oh yes. Let’s not forget they’re an amazing brand. I love my Summer Edition and my blue/gold ROC. I’d love a purple diver if one comes up. The open works are very nice and some of the 44mm tourbs arenas well. It’s still one of my 3 favorite brands and I’ll always have an AP or two in my collection.

Forget a pro sports team. If you have $%!# tons of rich people, AP should have a presence. The bay is loaded!

I spoke to the management at Wempe as I wanted to order a specific AP and they told me that at the end of February they will no longer be carrying AP. They said that AP made a decision to strengthen their own distribution more and more over the next few years.

They DO get boutique only pieces. Can’t speak for BH, but Vegas sure does.

Does that mean at the end of February AP buys back current stock? Or they are able to sell the remaining pieces?

It may end up in a secondary dealer's window. When Marcus in London lost AD status. AP did buy back some stock, but the rest went to a NOS store that he also owned and it stayed there for over a year until that store also closed. |

You can always drive 2 hours north to Vancouver as there are 2 locations (same owner) that carry APs but like Toronto, inventory is limited...black dial 15400, safari, elephant, couple lady pieces and they just sold the 44 RG (as of last Friday).
