Congratulations....just me thinking, Marketing and sales tactics. They want to make you feel lucky, special and you will give them $$ happily, still kissing their feet.

Maybe you are really lucky and special, well loved by them. Enjoy regardless, it's a "sought after" watch.

Boutique just sold me an Act 1 - I thought they were sold out
By: K-Lo : October 17th, 2023-21:08
So a sales person at BlancPain I was talking to about the Act 3 texts me out of nowhere and says he is getting an ACT 1 and asked if I wanted it, which is weird because I thought they were sold out online. Either way, I ended up putting down a full deposi...
Thank you!

I guess I more in shock/confusion trying to wrap my head around something being "sold out" and then "not sold out", oh well. I guess I'll finally be able to see this in person now...LOL
Sold out online

Sounds like a loophole. As in they still have some they can pass around to boutiques 🤷♂️
Right!

The Act3, at least for me...

Is that the boutique asks for a full deposit but can't guarantee you get the watch. I still can't get over that and have not given a full deposit. Return-wise I believe, for any BlancPain, as long as you didn't wear it, I think you can return it within 14...
I like the strategy…

Lots of people want to buy a watch in person and there’s nothing untoward about holding some for the boutiques. Enjoy it 😉
Enjoy!

Yes. Brands always want something "sold out" on their website - even if that's not entirely true. Online inventory isn't the same as store inventory too. They come from separate inventory pools. And the "sold out" online is also a marketing move too.
Yup!

They love it when they've sold enough of their inventory to say "Please Click Here To Inquire." As it creates hype! Right now, there's a rush on certain colors of fountain pen ink! Because some brands have simply put on their website "SOLD OUT ONLINE."
