All I'm saying is that it's between you and the dealer, and it presumably might be challenging to maintain an active and long-standing relationship with them if you're not around much, or in another country. (maybe you visit NJ a lot, who knows). Sincerely hope that you don't have issues getting your deposits back. At the same time, I thought the whole rationale behind local dealers was to serve the local community and build relationships. Otherwise, what's the point? Patek may as well go direct, and cut not just their ADs but the boutiques too. Become like Amazon and drop-ship product from a warehouse? whatever the case... I am relatively new to this area of NJ, and the Cliffside Park AD is now the closest one to me. 3 yrs back, I brought my 5712 there to get the bracelet resized and asked about a 5711 (before much of the craziness). They didn't bother taking a deposit; took down my name, but of course I never received a call. It's fine.. I don't blame them. (And thankfully, I now won't have to chase them for my $ back.) hope everything works out. |

The closest AD for me is around 250 miles away. The AD didn't take my info for any hot watches since they prefer dealing with local residents.

Because I was bored today, I searched and made a list of the 7 Patek AD locations in the United States that lost AD status (85 ADs listed in December to 78 currently):
D'Amore Jewelers - Cliffside Park, NJ Hamilton Jewelers - Palm Beach, FL (Worth Avenue location, other 2 locations are still ADs) Harold Freeman & Son - Bellair Bluffs, FL Hesselbein's Jewelers - Carmel, CA McCarver & Moser - Sarasota, FL Razny Jewelers - Highland Park, IL (other 2 locations are still ADs) Treiber & Straub - Brookfield, WI |

Interesting ! For the two ADs that consolidated from 3 to 2 stores, makes sense. Hamilton has locations in palm beach and palm beach gardens so prob didn’t make sense to create new Patek spaces at both of these stores which are not that far from each other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Tiffany Houston and Atlanta are still on the list, so guess they are not getting removed as someone mentioned?

Harold Freeman has been great to me. Hoping this isn’t the case. :-(

Only Calatrava and ladies models left, think I also saw a 5396, 5305, but they weren’t really willing to talk on price. Would’ve liked to pick up something for the significant other, will try again in a few weeks.

Almost picked up a 5146g from them last year. Only the HourGlass and JFarren Price left with AD status here in Sydney...

Curious, does anyone know what happens to the inventory at those ADs that get closed?
Does Patek just take them back and redistribute to other existing ADs?

The Cardiff WOS lost Patek back in November after they did a store refurb. I was told at the time that this was a WOS decision not Patek. I was on a list for a 5712 but now I am just on a centralised “register of interest”. Not holding my breath.

Some other poster suggested they must be returned because the AD is longer a Patek AD and can’t sign the warranty paperwork

I think there is a lot of last minute "sales" to avoid this. As at least you can sell it on preowned w/ a valid warranty provided the AD sold it before they were no longer an AD.
