Openworked ROs

Trying to pick up 15407ST.OO.1220ST.01 or a similar piece. SS, openworked.

Am I stuck paying over list price/going grey/used or is it possible to get these with a wait from a boutique? I have no problem with waiting.

I don’t want to ever discourage anyone, but without a relationship with a boutique (this model is an exclusive), I’d say getting an allocation for a newer customer is impossible. This watch has an extensive list and from what I’ve gathered on here, it goes only to curated customers. There are few if any AP fans that would turn one down if they were ever offered an opportunity to buy.

The gray market premium on this piece is kind of astronomical, but it has come down believe it or not.

Yeah I noticed it's been dropping which makes me think that AP will get looser with restrictions. Either way I guess I'll just wait then. I'm sure everything will be in firesale mode soon enough.
