Our AP SA separated my account and my wife account since the beginning. At first I was confused, but she explained that it’ll help us get one watch each per year.

Oh that’s so exciting!!! So is it safe to say the SA just knows like a week or two they have an allocation avail for them? Or would they know months ahead?

Very exciting! The possibility was mentioned about a month ago. I think they know more in advance, but don’t promise anything too soon incase of disappointment. But at the same time I also know they call people up well in advance and allocate people watches before a watch is even officially released. So probably based on the level of relationship. But that’s just my little bit of experience so far.

I think the SA's know pretty well in advance. They seem to plan out who gets what in advance throughout the year.

The question is who actually does the allocation and determine if one is worthy of being bestowed an AP?

Hey guys, thought I’d share my wife’s incoming. Really appreciated it from our SA not only because it’s stunning and a 50th, but a special year for us welcoming our first child soon.

Wow, my little girl happen to pop over when I was at this page and she said 'Elsa watch' (with respect to the Disney animation movie Frozen).

Congratulations, a very exquisite piece to celebrate a significant milestone!

Thank you! She has a 15cm wrist, the 37mm sits very well.

In the last 2 years, I've observed my SA knows only about a week ahead. In the 2017-2019 years they knew several months ahead. Before 2017 they still had models in the cases.

WOW. The non-diamond version was already at the top of my list but I literally messaged my SA to ask to be added to the list for this one as soon as I saw your post. How stunning is that - and congratulations on your first son!
