How rare is the 15202ST?

Hi all!

Does anyone know or have a good guess on how rare the 15202ST are at the Boutiques these days?

If we talk about an average sized Boutique (I know its maby hard to say)
How many do they get per year?

If we compare it to say the 15407ST. Which is very rare!?
Do they get like 3,5,10 or even 20 15202ST per every 15407ST?

I´d guess 2 to 3.

But don´t forget: There are about 10 times more people waiting for a 15202ST ...

So you are saying there's a chance ... to get a 15407 at the boutique ...

One of us here got the frosted openworked as his first AP recently and a 15202ST months later as his second from a European boutique.

Between 20 and 25 15202st and between 5 and 7 15407st per year in the large US boutique.

Is this a fact?

So a ratio at around 1 to 4 on the 15407.

Thanks for the reply.

Hard to tell really as different locations get different allocations, they both have hand finishing but the 15407 is way more elaborate. That being said...who the hell knows, write an email to AP :)

It’s about a 4:1 / 5:1 ratio in terms of annual production 15202ST vs 15407ST

With this info. It should be easier to acquire the 15407ST then 15202ST

Intuition would think the 15407ST would be harder to get but I've no proof.

The above figures are also wild guesses, so they could be right or could be way off...

That’s not quite right, if you did a straw poll, 9/10 SAs will tell you that the 15407ST is the hardest one to get.

It’s at a price point where nearly all current and aspiring AP owners will jump at it who don’t already have it
