i can't imagine a boutique wouldn't do well in london. Minus Rolex and Patek, it seems AP's are the next brand as far as scarcity of popular references. Non mainstream models are long waits as well, my 15407 wait has been estimated in years, not months. Thats not from an AD either, thats AP directly who I'm buying from

I routinely do AD hopping in central london and none have a ton of stock but add them all together and you almost get a fully stocked boutique

If the "lounges" get stocked like a boutique then I'm happy. I am curious to see what the difference is.
