What makes it so bad is that they basically own all the watch shops... and there's nothing you can do about it hahaah

I've been a fairly good customer with them too.. sucks that this is how they treat people.

So close to owning my first patek.. and i don't think I'll be fortunate enough again to purchase one any time soon..

So it’s congrats or not congrats ?

They pulled back the deal or you did get the 5167 (per your picture) eventually ?

Sorry to hear!

Which IWC btw?

Vipes · 21 October 2021, 03:10 AM

Damn, sorry to hear. I bet the owner found another person with a bigger bundle. Very classy AD

Are you in Toronto? Humbertown?

Is being a Patek owner more important to you than your dignity? Sounds like you had a lucky escape from being strongarmed by a crappy AD like that.

Rushne · 21 October 2021, 06:07 PM

Gah, this is gutting! I feel a hole of anxiety in my stomach just thinking about if the same thing happened to me. Sheesh what terrible behavior by the AD.

I don't get the need to have a snarky post. I'm pretty sure most every one on the board would be thrilled at a shot at getting a patek even at the cost of bundling with another watch.

Pic was sent by the SA when the watch arrived.

Oh and to make things even more awesome, I found the same watch being sold online for a pretty profit!

Seems like it. The P1,260,000.00 on the pic above works out about right in USD or EUR assuming it is Philippine Pesos.

Well then I’m not sure why the OP would be surprised that the AD pulled a fast one on him. Being on the other side of the Pacific Ocean I’m sure that AD feels like they don’t have to be held accountable.

JSolution · 22 October 2021, 07:14 AM

Absolute piss take Mate I’d be very angry.

ben.wins · 23 October 2021, 08:06 AM

Congrats on the Aquanaut! Even if you had to purchase the IWC at least you got the call! Wear in good health

QuelleHeureEstIl · 23 October 2021, 09:56 AM

If it is a PP official retailer, I would send a message to patek. I am sure they do not tolerate that.

Dang. Sorry to hear about it. oh well that’s how it works here in the Philippines, it’s always about who you know and how much you are willing to pay. I don’t even bother visiting ADs locally as it is near impossible to get a Patek or Rolex anyway.

Yes they are the local distributor in the PH.
