One boutique told me all these are prioritized to tourbillon buyers...
Waitlist is just an excuse. I don’t quite appreciate this selling strategy of AP.
Most of these hot pieces end up in grey markets with double prices.
AP15202BC
Immediately upon it's release for me the star of SIHH (and most certainly better then anything to be seen at Baselworld): 15202BC salmon dial color. An amazing watch, that would truly be a perfect addition to my 15202ST and other salmon coloured watches (...
it is beautiful, it is limited...but
is it worth the price especially for just 'different' dial color ? i can't convince myself ! Best, mahesh.,
Salmon AP
Mahesh, This one is big money given it is white gold. I just got off the phone with the AP boutique and they did not yet have an exact cost, however the fellow I spoke with indicated it would be priced similar to other precious metal watches. His estimate...
Yes and soon many gray market dealers will sell
this watch at a super premium, advertised as "Hot! HARD/IMPOSSIBLE to get''
AP have been flooded with orders for this.
Applying for a piece through a Boutique will be useless. People are already fighting over allocations at SIHH.
Salmon color Royal Oak
Shame on AP for not offering the salmon color in a stainless 41mm RO.

Allocation
Unfortunately, you are correct. Sad but true. Remember, there are other brands out there with obtainable pieces. Anytime someone tells me five years I just laugh an move on. Next!
It was limited to 75 pieces at presentation (also on AP's website) but AP are trying to accomodate extremely high demand by lifting the "hard" limitation.
The limitation to 75 pieces was only deleted from their website yesterday.
They
told me today its not a limited but the production will not be more the 75 a year Its beautiful ...
One of the stars of the show
But disappointing it’s just more of the same. A different dial and metal hardly constitutes a leap forward. I wouldn’t say no however..
