You have made similar posts in the past. There is no place for it and I will not allow it. You can dislike AP, Francois, whatever. But posts will be respectful or not tolerated.

unpleasant experience with Mayors. Not rude, but snobbish... The best action is take your “business” elsewhere.... Having said that, all my experiences with AP boutiques have been very polite. It is understandable that they would prefer to sell to loyal c...
I have had great experiences with purchases from Mayors...

I never got these questions with any watch purchase. Yea, the questions suck but Audemars is trying to do something that I think will be positive in the long run. Also, Mayors isn't perfect. Please show them a little mercy. Let's not sum them up based on ...
I agree with you, to an extent

I've also purchased from Mayor's before and the experience has been very pleasant. If this was a one-off rogue email from a well-intentioned sales person, I'd agree with you. But - according to the sales person - this was a thoughtful and deliberate set o...
True...

I also have purchased with no issues and I am in So Cal. Ordered 2 watches via phone with no questions asked. In this case, I am thinking the AP boutique and/or their WoS ownership has something to do with this.

Ridiculous

Just one question so I don’t get confused: we’re you trying to adopt a child or apply for US Citizenship, or were you trying to buy a watch? I can understand a brand tries to collect data on existing and potential clients. But if providing such data to de...
A way to get to know their local audience?

Hey NickO, I have always had an outstanding experience with both AP as a boutique in Bal Harbor, NY and around the world and Mayors as a watch dealer (now part of Watches of Switzerland Group). Both companies are trully worth your time investment and are ...
Rather intrusive

However, you have the option not to answer them. It might be the AD policy, I was never asked such questions.

I'm pleased to provide a detailed update to this thread. It's funny, MichaelC and I were laughing that if you had to have a service faux pas, Mrs. NickO is the perfect client to go through that with. She is a global expert on The Customer Experience and C...
New Salesman?
By: drmoney : September 5th, 2019-23:46
I wonder if this was a new salesman, and these questions were never meant to be sent to customers, but were more like examples of things for him to note in their prospective client files or his own personal shake cards. Maybe he was never meant to ask “wh...
Wow
By: Tlph : September 7th, 2019-00:02
These questions are indeed so inappropriate that even the hospitality of the sales won’t get me to pay anything to a shop like this! But sadly nowadays the whole industry is like this - the grey market has tightened the brands “monitoring” process to ensu...
