Check out Chrono24, many SS 5711 are at the same prices as their RG counterpart

My thoughts as well. I'd much rather have the PM Jumbo than the SS Jumbo, especially if they are going to cost me the same

I received a phone call last week from the local Boutique saying that there was a 15202 SS in stock for me. Picked it up the next day with Zero Discount. Sales Rep was nice enough to throw in a small travel box and a small watch mat.

Had put my name down at the AP boutique about 3 months ago with 1 follow up email a couple weeks later. Thought it was a lost cause until the phone call.

From conversations with the sales rep. He said that whenever a piece comes into the store, his bosses mandates that he goes out to customers by the end of the week.

Also a combination with stock market volatility + out of country buyer who can't pick the watch up in time had led to them giving the customer with zero prior relationship a look on the watch.

Would be a keeper for me now but if people are paying >30 for this. Then i might have second thoughts!
