15500ST already with grey dealers

[MavaTalluru]

I was searching for them online yesterday and saw one in grey dial listed in Europe on Chrono24 with price on request. Upon asking, they quoted me 26k in euros lol and it was reserved. I hope someone stops this madness.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. That’s just how the market works. As soon as watches get released some get sourced by grey dealer buyers and others are just flipped by opportunitists.

Wow, what does that mean regarding 15400? More or less?

I saw that exact listing a couple days ago and wondered what the price was.. thanks for inquiring to feed my curiosity and wow thats pricey!

[vakman]

Thanks for the info!

That’s interesting given the fact that the AP reps at Watches & Wonders in Miami said deliveries would start around June. You sure it’s a legit piece you saw for sale?

You should see how grays (even right here on this forum) are ratcheting up prices on the 15400's now that they're discontinued - it's absurd.

Yeah! A grey I know received one very recently - grey dial: he does not know what to price it yet so he is holding on to it. Yeah even my AD told me deliveries start in June - July . NY, LA and LV boutiques are not taking any names and are saying they are sold out this year and the next - ?. I think Miami is sold out too. West time flagship in LA offered me one a month ago, I do not know the current status.

Yeah, the white dial was the most available in the 15400s - those are going for 22k now as they are discontinued. I am seeing the black and ruthenium go for as much as 24k.

I don’t think these new 15500 SS will go the nautilus route. Only the 15202st will be in that bracket in the long run is what I feel. But can’t say!

I’m not surprised; these grey dealers are gonna have to take a bunch of Code 11:59s off ADs’ hands pretty soon, so they’re probably getting treated pretty nicely.

Having said that, be careful of these Chrono 24 listings-they often list without having the watch in hand.

They likely wont need to take a bunch of code 11:59's because the 11:59 is boutique only.

I know, these guys look legit though - they put in actual images of the watch:

I have friends who took delivery this month FYI.

First access will be boutique only. If indeed the greys are forced to assist moving 11:59 inventory, then we will see them in Asian watch dealers.

Will keep my eyes peeled, pretty sure this will happen. Too much money on the table for it not to, humans are going to be human.
