Best AD to build profile

Hi Everyone, I am new to watch collection and I understand all of those popular series or models requires me to have a spending profile with the ADs.

Just wondering if I'm going to begin in this collection journey, which AD would you recommend me to build a profile with? Brands I'm interested in are mainly PP, AP, and Rolex.

And if the ADs recommended has a few outlets, which outlet or sales would you suggest? Hope to get advice from you to help novice like me.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, there are no single point of sales for all three (Rolex, AP and PP). The Hour Glass is the only retailer to have all three brands, but not in the same store.

However, I think you can forget about getting an AP from THG (unless Concept, full diamond or quartz pieces). AP is changing its dealership model to be almost exclusively boutique only, so just go THG or Cortina for Rolex and PP, and the boutique (MBS or Liat) for AP.

Also, if the collection you're thinking of starting is GMT Pepsi, Daytona, Nautilus, Aquanaut and Royal Oak, I think can forget it.

Thank you for your advice!

Is there any particular Cortina or THG branch you would recommend?

Ya I understand those collection you mentioned won't be a possible starting point, probably start with DateJust or something along that line.

I can only advise that if you're serious about Rolex and Patek, find a point of sales that offers both. That means Raffles City, Raffles Hotel, Hilton, Tangs, Paragon, Ngee Ann City, and Knightsbridge.

THG, If you are set on which model you want and your relationship with SA is good, you can ask the SA to transfer from another branch even if they don’t carry it at that branch. No need to go running around. I guess other companies also like that but haven’t tried before so dunno
