Heading to Chi in march and want to visit the AD. What should I expect? I only have Rolex but have always been interested in the Royal Oak.

Not sure where Chi is, but if going to an AP House have fun. Went for 1st time to one in October. Emailed ahead to set up appointment. Had a great talk with the SA about watches and just some general travel stuff. Showed me about a dozen different pieces across the lines as this was my first chance to try on any AP's. Honestly really helped me narrow down the pieces I am interested in getting. A few months later was able to buy my 1st and hopefully not last AP. Found it very relaxed and had a great time. Hope you enjoy your trip.

If this is Chicago the boutique is part of Swiss Fine Timing. Call and set up an appointment because you can't just drop in.

With an appointment you should expect to be shown a sampling of display models and a have a conversation about your own collection goals. Be prepared for being offered an offshore or code. This is usually the prerequisite to acquiring a Royal Oak.

Was in Chicago two weeks ago and when I made an appointment call, was told they only had one Code 11.59 in gold and an Offshore available to "view only". Needless to say, I didn't even bother....
