Is this a boutique or an AD? I might be in LA around that time so I might stop in on opening day.

According to the south coast plaza mall website it is a boutique . Still don’t have definitive opening date.

I will never understand their geographic strategy. Northern California and a vast majority of the US has zero access to any point of sales from AP. Not to speak of that the entire country Canada has no boutique at all. But OC/ LA has multiple and so does NYC ??? Why???

That's because Northern California is one of the poorest parts of the United States. No one is interested in buying luxury watches.

Not enough millionaires and billionaires I guess.

I'm assuming this is no longer the case? When I called, they said they have no date.

I asked the staff again this past Sunday, and they said "slated" to open on the 17th, so I'm not sure. I'll just show up Friday morning and see.

I’m surprised there isn’t some sort of announcement with some type of grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting.

Right? Though I'm not sure how AD's and boutiques usually do their openings.

Just walked by the area real quick, and the front isn't even taken down yet, so I doubt they'll be open tomorrow

What part of the mall is it located?

Right across from the original LV store right before the bridge

Definitely not open, but the construction front was slightly open, so was able to take a peek inside, and the store looked more or less done, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's within the next week or so.

Didn't get a chance to ask anybody cause it was before the mall officially being open.

Any steel ROs?

joewang1988 · 26 September 2021, 05:09 AM

Oh nice, I gotta check it out next time I head over there

djnick · 1 October 2021, 08:01 AM

I think this should be opening soon not holding my breathe on inventory

GreenLantern · 1 October 2021, 08:24 AM

What's it matter? They won't have any meaningful inventory other than an initial seed inventory (of the least "hot" pieces) anyway.

sunnyd · 4 October 2021, 01:09 AM

Was just at SCP yesterday and can confirm that it's still not open yet.

Beats an empty store, I'd say.

BigV03 · 5 October 2021, 02:50 PM

Was there today. Peeked through the cracks and it seemed completed. Perhaps just waiting for inventory and maybe workers since there seems to be a shortage all over.

Well, technically it WAS open today but... apparently you have to call or email ..or contact your sales associate, so it wasn't really open

How are you going to have an OC sales associate when the store isn’t even open yet

BNA/LION · 9 October 2021, 06:01 AM

Nice!

Reign · 9 October 2021, 06:36 AM

There was an opening dinner for existing clients with other boutiques who live in the area

lol I just called and they gave me zero love - cordial but I could not even register interest for any watches - come in the store and introduce yourself. Apparently, it's a corporates boutique though.

That's a pretty standard line for NYC 100% corporate boutique though. The question is if they show any love if you show up tomorrow morning in person though. Seriously.
