I knew that was going to be your retort. But it’s clear what the octagon is most closely associated with

maybe I am interested in the wrong Code for the good deal. I see posts about well below retail & I have yet to see the 38mm rose gold navy below retail.

Anyone? Can't imagine I'm cold storaged for turning down a sought after model if it's true.

Sure, an SA at the AD could just label you a tire kicker for turning down that watch.

The term comes from the car sales industry, where tire kickers would visit dealerships, kick tires, and talk to salespeople but rarely make a purchase.

Yes, wearing a popular item from another high-end brand can show you know your stuff and have good taste, which might help you get noticed and build a relationship with a different luxury brand.

If you have been waiting for a Code Chrono for 2 years and its not the RD4 ultra complication the boutique does not want your business for some reason.
The standard Code Chrono is not hard to get, its a piece you often have to take in order to establish a relationship to get a RO or a ROO
As others have said Id look at a gray dealer and get it at a discount, perhaps once your boutique sees you tired of waiting and got on they will start to take you seriously.

Labelled as such for turning down a sought after watch that's not on my list?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

How many watches have you purchased at that AD over the last few years?

I'm totally new to AP. I was introduced to the Boutique by my cousin who has a purchase history of 16 watches with them.

Does it matter?

Then it is possible an SA at the boutique could label you a tire kicker for turning down that watch. They are in the business of making money by selling watches.

That is not necessarily a fair judgement of you.

Perhaps your cousin might visit and ask about it? That will help answer your question.

I meant ask about how the SA at the boutique regards you - a serious customer, or not one because of declining a watch you didn't want.

I doubt we will get an answer for this question.
