The 202 has always been tough-ish to get, esp in the UK, never seen it on display and was always told will be a few months to a year, so that piece was a bit like the Daytona and was never intended to be a mass market piece, however as the market has got so hyped recently I think AP are smart to limit distribution, not production which I am sure is the same, of the other ROs, not only to keep the hype and interest in the brand going but also to ensure the watches go to genuine buyers.
Rolex might quite like the fact their watches are hyped up, not that they weren't very well known before, but I bet they wish they had had a bit more business savvy and nous to have had better allocation policies and discipline to stop their watches getting so flipped, as now they have just become such overt commodities to the masses, and more tellingly, as we see now on the forums even to many WIS.
