Is this normal?
I went into a PP boutique. asked to see 3 calatravas: 5227G - they wont even put me on the waiting list; 5212A - i should expect a year at least; 5226G - i might have a chance. I couldnt believe my ears. I am not asking for a nautilus or aquanaut. And watch sales are pretty down atm. What is wrong here?

Lol pp

They have to unload the crap no one wants somehow

Yeah he showed me some weird stuff. Opposite of what i told him i was looking for.

Are you a first time customer of that boutique? My experience was quite different but I’ve spent over $100k with my PP AD on other non-PP items/watches before inquiring about starting a PP journey.

OP, I don't think they need ya business. It's what they do unfortunately.

I’m a bit surprised. I usually schedule an appointment in advance before walking into a store and share a brief overview of my collection along with the models I’d like to see. On average, I spend 30 minutes to an hour and a half per visit, and I’ve always received excellent service from Patek stores.

Has anyone seen Omega’s new Seamaster? Thoughts?

Oh well, guess I won’t be going underwater. Just kidding haha - I think it’s cool and I do like that they ditched the HEV
