Was this a Boutique or AD? Were these sample demo pieces?

Seems very quick to have Ti already!

Never seen a new watch show up a few weeks after SIHH for sale.

Yes in Ginza AP boutique
Quite different in dials and face colours
I think the 44mm is lighter and helped by the subdials being white

I was told the demo pieces will be going round Asia about end of this month. It's indeed quick if already available for sale.

Demo pieces I understand and I expect that is what these are (both times are set exactly the same). But who knows.

The Ginza boutique is notorious for demo pieces. Any decent reference is almost always not for sale.

I don't know about demo
But the 42mmis is not new, both watches have clear plastic on them which actually
Made viewing the Titanium difficult to get a true feel of it and see it in its natural form
If demo why protect, it was priced up ready to be sold just maybe

Singapore AP boutique will have it for sale end of this month at SGD42K. That's quite fast. Maybe AP already produced them last year.

Wow, that is extremely fast.

Hey kudos to AP for bucking the trend of 6 month waits.

Wonder how long it will be before AD's get them...2-3 months probably.

Depends I think. If boutique are selling them well ( ie like they are flying off the shelf ), then I think AD may have to wait since ADs discount which AP doesn't like. Apparently from what I heard, and expect, the Ti44 is the most enquired model over here.
