Have people been getting the "call" since the price increase was put in place?
Just curious.

My last call was before the recent price increase. I too am interested if boutiques are still calling their clients?

With Rolex I heard more than once that the week or two weeks after the price increase they deliver a lot of pieces to the clients that very probably were in the safe for those couple of weeks just to earn a few hundred extra. |

AP Boutique once told me to make sure to come in and pay before the following week, to avoid an imminent price increase. So, I don't think the price increase made any difference in the number of calls before/after.

AP wants clients that can buy 4-5 pieces, not someone who will be one and done. That's why you can't get a RO

And that's great from their side, I had that happening at an AD where I bought a few pieces with an IWC I was waiting with. Left it paid 2 days before the raise and then picked it up some weeks later when they got it. Quote:
That's a great looking ROC, congratulations! Except it's not their biggest watch market... |

Don't these numbers only reinforce what thekman is saying?

Only if our friend can provide some other metric showing that the US have a relatively larger share in the overall ultra-luxury watch market ;)
I'm sure AP could sell much more in the US, but there are a lot of long-time big and really big collectors in Asia they want to keep happy. |

Just to add to all the comments above, I heard that some of the 50th anniversary pieces as well as other AP pieces originally destined for other markets have been reallocated to the Asian markets because much fewer boutique and house customers in Asia are flipping their pieces. AP actively monitors the secondary market and as a result are favoring markets where there are fewer flippers. In the end, I agree that each 50th RO should go to a customer who appreciates the piece and respects the brand. As a result, we have been seeing more incomings here. My friend is picking up his 50th ROC today even though at the beginning of the year he was not sure if he would get allocated one.
