Was told my allocation was cancelled and just wanted to warn people here. I bought during peak COVID fear in March of 2020 - when the market was tanking and nobody knew there was going to be extensive stimulus. You would think the Lords of Richemont would... 

Many wonderful independents to choose from. You want a custom dial, sure. You want a seriously cool movement outside the norm, sure thing.

Absolutely no regrets!

It is quite surprising to hear such a situation.

I love many of their pieces (none of which, fortunately, happens to be a "hot" model), but reading on the fora about their bundling practices make me uneasy. Good luck!

I heard from my AD that ALS has had serious of problems with employees being sick during the pandemic - and that these problems continue. Their productionrate has been lowered by between 30 and 50 percent. That might be the cause of your cancelled allocat... 

Did the ALS boutique give a reason for the cancellation of allocation? As it’s not a common practice once a client is approved on an allocation? Best, Henry

I understand your disappointment. Especially if you have been looking forward to it for so long. There are still so many other great watches out there. Feeling you are being treated with respect is a huge part of the equation. This is probably easier in t... 

Did you do anything to upset ALS? It's seems odd and unprofessional that they would just kick you off the list. On another note, I walked into both new AP and ALS boutiques in Aspen a few weeks ago. The sales rep at ALS could not have been nicer, the AP r... 

Which is why they think they can do almost anything now.

…I am very very disappointed by them. My allocation for a Datograph Lumen was canceled like this and for the Odysseus, too. Both were confirmed and afterwards canceled - as I ordered at a dealer and not in the Boutique. Delay would have been acceptable - ... 

They'll come crawling back once the economy shits the bed...

Richemont brands keep finding new ways kick customers in the nuts for no reason it's absolutely beyond belief. Cancelling committed orders, limited edition vip orange straps, downgrading movements, customers really have no idea how, when, or where a Riche... 

Your deal is called a bundle sale. ALS is not keeping up their words. So sorry to hear your story. Thanks for letting all of us know. I was offered a similar deal in 2020, they told me to buy a piece of none Boutique edition or limited edition watch, then... 

I am not a fan of these ,,new,, allocation strategy from the these brands nowadays. Like you said focus on the indies 👊🏻🤗
