Cartier

For a few years now every time I asked for anything I was politely told to go away. It started with the platinum Tank Normale, then I asked about the steel Santos Dumont in steel with black lacquer case when it was first released. I was told it was a one ...  

As I’m not near a boutique I emailed about the salmon and got the same sort of response 😂

...it seems it best to have options.

Congratulations. So it is more about the personal than a Cartier store culture. Looking forward to seeing pics of your new beauty

That’s an incredible win, and it makes me so happy to hear you finally got a “yes” after all those frustrating no’s. Sounds like you found the perfect boutique team — the way you describe the sales director’s excitement is just awesome. That platinum Tank... 

Same for me with the Salmon dial, boutique said no, sold out etc and my friend saw one in another boutique, can be purchased on the spot. Big congrats 🎊

You’ve (or will) snagged a fantastic piece. After you take the mandatory amount of pictures you can ship it here. I’ll dm you my address.

Until the AD/Boutique is prepared to take a deposit (or even full payment upfront) and commit to a sale, no point in engaging.

Congratulations. Looking forward to your unveiling.

I really like the TA with the salmon dial, it looks wonderful in every photo I have seen but I am looking forward to seeing real live pics from your limited edition when you get it.

So happy to hear when both sides - the customer and the AD - are excited to arrange these kinds of sales. Good for you. Post pics!

Congratulations !

And a nice car show too I see. Serendipitous Enjoy
