AD collected-can they hold order hostage?

And I'm not surprised the dealer is trying to get you to buy more things in the interim....that's called doing their job in sales....I don't see anything wrong with that.

Good for the AD , but bad for Patek. They will have rules against this - it’s part of the right of becoming an AD.

All great feedback thank you gents.

I don’t see anything wrong with them “doing their job in sales” either. As stated in my post I plan on buying a whole lot more with this AD. They will be my one stop shop for all brands they carry and I’m looking forward to building a great collection with them.

As stated I am very optimistic about this, the deal has been made. My bigger question was selling other items to me before delivery, where as I want to wait to buy more upon delivery and after. And weather delivery can be held.

Plenty of great feedback given. Thank you all very much and will keep you posted.

Moving goal posts is the norm these days, so be careful. Also be mindful that lots of AD's don't treat spend in other parts of the stores the same towards Patek spending.

OP:please post the written agreement. Otherwise this is just a chitchat with many unknown variables.

If you're talking about the Toronto AD nothing would suprise me. I have visited their store numerous times and have been treated well while in the store but not once have they ever returned a phone call or an email and I have never been offered to purchase anything I have been waitlisted for.
