Do they contact the first guy that has bought the most AP watches from their boutique? I'm curious to know how this works.

Another AP or PAM?
Good Day All,I am trying to finger out what watch to get next, another AP to go with my AP Diver or another Panerai to go with my PAM114. This might be the last watch for a long time.The Panerai's I am looking at are the 233 and the 372 (I have a PAM372 on order but it might take a long time, They are now talking March/April). I really like the 233.The AP's I am looking are the RO (15300) this one has a glass back and the SS bracelet, The ROC (26300) with SS bracelet, Volcano, Panda and the Safari (Might take 6-9 month to save for the Safari, Panda or Volcano). I like the AP style.Thanks,Eric
