At the same time people on here have reported time and again about shopping at various ADs around the world and some seem to deliberately deal with two or three preferred ADs rather than just one.

As a result I have come to think the above is a myth supported by Patek and the ADs rather than reality. My take is that there is no "penalty" if one shops at different ADs as long as one isn't after application pieces.

Just to add, Patek should know which AD sold a particular watch and they may well do some stats on where you bought the watches you register with them but I don't think they will cross check who is on which AD's waiting list for non-application pieces.

Total myth.
