That's what I've been told by my colleagues. Of course, I've also heard stories about people buying 1 woman's PP watch -> being called to view a calatrava -> then being offered a 5712G on the spot (London Bond Street). Guess PP works in mysterious ways as well.

Patek retail location is where all watch enthusiasm goes to die. I’m happy with AP! I prefer their designs and I don’t have to buy 3 leather strap dress watches I don’t want just to possibly get a aquanaut - hard pass! |

I’m told it’s still very, very difficult — if not impossible to get an aquanaut from an AP boutique! sorry….so day over here.

It's definitely becoming easier. In the past two months I had the call for ROO blue diver, ROO Music Edition and ROC. Rejected them all...

I only buy three handers, preferably without a date (that's why I was interested in the ROO Music Edition, but changed my mind). Waiting for a RO white dial, should be either by the end of December, otherwise January 2023. Will be the 15510 without the 50th anniversary rotor, which I prefer.
ROC black dial. |

From nothing for two years, I was offered two women's’ royal oaks in the space of the last 10 days. Declined the first, bought the second.

I've had to play wayyyyyyy less games with Patek and actually feel appreciated by them, compared to AP. But, guess in both cases ultimately depends on your points of sale / contacts. |

Just visited AP here in HK...
I'm interested in a few pieces, and according to my contacts at AP, they will allocate one to me by Feb/March, which is great. I wanted to see the CODE Starwheel, but they didn't have a display model available. Will go to AP House next week. If I want one, I'm first line (as a CODE owner, at least that's what AP told me), which is good news. Have to see it in person before I can put it on my 'Wishlist'. |

I refuse to give money to the greys. I don't see getting the call until things cool off--in another 2 years probably

Cooling off as we speak. I think in 2 years, unless something major happens, economy will be hot again.

I think this is the year to get a watch if you've been on the waiting list. 2024 and beyond I think you see grey market prices well above retail and waitlists at boutiques to be steady.

At least I have my current application pieces to keep me warm although when they break I’m not super excited about sending them in myself now. |
