Wait time for 15202?

Anyone knows what's the best place to get 15202 quick?
I can travel to Hongkong, Japan or China mainland if it helps.

I talked to local boutique (Beijing) but too bad, nothing coming in yet, put me on waiting list.
Anyone knows what an estimated waiting time for 15202?

Beside uncertain waiting time, the MSRP in China sucks even with tax return.
So I am also looking for a possible alternative place to purchase.

Anything would help.

Thx in advance.

I have been on the list in Geneva for about six months. You could call AP boutiques and ask.

You’ll just have to buy from a sponsor like Takuya or DSW. I saw quite a few mint and brand new ones for sale recently around 28-30k. Which isn’t terrible considering it’s 22,4K watch from the boutique after you wait 1,5-2yrs or smtg. Maybe the nautilus markup has worped my judgment

I have been on the waiting list for about 6 months now as well. However, I am expecting to receive mine in a month or two.

I think in general 1 year wait is what you can expect.

I'd change your abrasive attitude, many ADs will run a mile from new customers like you, it's a seller's market now so you need to be far smarter and diplomatic/a suck up.

I did some research online seems like Japan is the least possible place for me to get it so I didnt bother to ask them.

Emailed HK boutiques, all said no stock but waiting list is on..

I prefer to buy from boutiques or ADs cuz there could be a chance to get taxed if I buy overseas online.
Both China and Canada customs are insane
60% custom in China and around 30% in Canada.

1 year is acceptable for me, but sooner is always better
So I guess i would just try my luck or stick with my local waiting list.

Btw, anyone knows if 15202 available in ADs too?
If so maybe I can try finding them in Canada when I am back to do tax.

Not a chance for Canada if you are looking for the 15202 in steel. All long waitlist from my previous inquiries and they rarely get a piece in. In Vancouver they rarely get the 15400 in general.
