What does it take to have access to some AP accessories?

First of all I'm really happy to have found this forum today, great posts everybody!

Now, one post really captured my attention, it was full of Audemars Piguet "swag"!

How do you get all the goodies?

I'm guessing it's for the VIP owners, but if not please correct me!

I’ve gotten AP items directly from the boutique after purchase and then with delivery. But if you’re hard-pressed for some AP swag...lots of items end up for sale on places like ebay. I don’t know that it would be worth it, just letting you know.

I saw a thread on here where people had AP leather wallets, golf sets (balls, tees), watch travel cases, notepads, playing cards, all sorts of cool stuff.

The “swag” is given at the time of purchase or at special events. Some people resell their stuff at ebay but prices are usually very high.

The best imho is the diver desk clock, that's one thing i'd like to get my hands on... one day maybe.

The pens are super nice too, i'm lucky enough to have a pair (one to use, one to keep)

I would contact AP directly, if you are an owner they may sell you something directly, like a cap or wallet, or maybe give you one if you buy a strap or something official.

Wow!
But surely if you wanted a strap change, AP would have somebody pop over to your office within the hour to do it for you!

Buy some watches from the boutique and negotiate what swag you'll receive.

That’s very cool Roger, I recently tried to blag one of those and I think they said it cost £3000! I never knew loctite and screwdrivers could be so valuable but the leather presentation case is very nice.

The irony is I wouldn’t trust myself to do the strap change anyway!
