Still very unclear to me if AP really wants collectors and those enthusiastic about the brand as clients are just the very wealthy collectors who are enthusiastic about that brand and can spend $100k plus before getting the watch they want.

At what point is it a lost cause? If after 2-3 years of playing the game and still not being allocated the piece you want (not some crazy piece but let's say a black 15500) is the writing on the wall and are you just wasting your time?
black 15500 was pretty doable with no history and a little luck up until some point around mid 2021-early 2022. by doable i mean within a year or a little over. at the rate we're going it should go back to that soon. blue dials or models like 15202s/openworkeds were almost impossible even going back to 2019-2020

i think 3 years can officially be called a lost cause lol. it's hard to say how things will be because i feel like they'll try to keep bundles/purchase history in play for as long as they can
