My collection and current status

With everybody getting their drop dead gorgeous and absolutely stunning new pieces I felt I had to mitigate my jealous ego by posting something.

Ever since aquiring my first AP in London in september, I have been stalking the net looking for books and whatever I can get my hands on.
As of now I possess four AP collection books for 2016 to 2019. They look marvelous in the bookshelfs surrounding the television.
I have also the new AP 20th Century Complicated Wristwatches, and recently a I was able to get my hands on a used edition of the AP Master Watchmaker Since 1875 by François Chaille.
I have read the historic books but I definitely need to read them a few more times as to make the history, models and watchmaking techniques stick.

Here are some pictures of the gang and watch together.





There is something I must ask this AP forum.
Recently I found out that my SA has moved on to other ventures from the Sloane Street boutique in London.
I did not get any message, which I guess is normal as I have only bought one piece from that establishment.
However, I do wonder how to approach things going forward?

I remember telling him that I would never part with my watch and I wanted to make a point by returning with the piece to assure him that I am not in this to earn money by flipping it. I did get the impression that he believed me. In some way in thought this scenario would make me a more desirable buyer as I am sure they are aware that there are people buying only to feed the grey market.

He did write down the pieces I am interested in and now I worry that my wish list is like a tear in the rain(had to put in a Bladerunner quote, sorry).

And with my SA left for greener pastures, I only have the boutique managers contact info - should I talk to her going forward?
I do remember the name of the other SA, but I do not have her contact information.

Truth be told, I do not want to bother the manager all that much as to keep my first impression.
I must mention that I did send her a happy Christmas/new years email which she politely replied that she hopes to have the pleasure to meet again and that she is looking forward to our coffee next time I am in London.

To end I must apologize for my english, and I must beg pardon for my tedious paragraphs about my situation as I do have a severe condition of AP withdrawal!
Thank you for reading and I wish you all get the piece(s) you desire this year!
