I registered for the magazine but haven't received it yet. Should I shoot them an email?

There’s only 38 AD’s in USA

I received my magazine without the retailer on the letter. It’s like receiving a cold plate with ashes.

LOL. I received the magazine in January with my AD on the letter but 10 days later they were no AD no more.

If you look at the current AD map on the Patek site, there are 5 ADs in Southern FL and, other than those, there are none in the state of FL. In the SE part of the US, the next closest AD in resides in Atlanta GA and Charlotte NC; where the AD in Winston- Salem NC is gone.

The SE of the US has little coverage; wondering if 1 or 2 more in southern FL will be eliminated?

Choose which AD you work with carefully. Shreve's in SF lost their license and Chong Hing Jewelers in LA just lost their license as well. Almost made the mistake of starting a relationship with Chong Hing Jewelers last year, but too many red flags ;)

Not too much you can do now with the remaining ADs. If there are more cuts any one of them is at risk at this point.

There will be more cuts.
Going down to about 28 ADs in states (noted by my AD).

Yup, Patek wants more inventory at trusted ADs vs diluting it to ADs with questionable tactics. In Socal they currently have 3 (down from 4), and my gut tells me this is going down to 2. Now the gamble of choosing the right one to pick up where I left off with Shreves LOL!!

Is there a timeframe during which this is expected to play out?

Trusted ADs == ADs with questionable tactics

But you can buy directly from them...I met the head of sales at a Watch Show. Very nice guy.

Stephnn Silver in Menlo Park, CA in the Rosewood hotel has a few pieces from LF. I liked the titanium blue dial time only one they had available to try on.

I thought I heard rumors about them losing status but was immediately scoffed at, and that was a year ago so who knows.

Not really but most likely in 2024/2025
