How do you speak with M or A, do you have contact details? My AD tells me this is an application piece and is putting me forward for one. Do you you guys have to submit an application for this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My AD asked me to speak during the WT event. At the end it is either M or A will decide on allocation.

As far as I can online only a few people have taken delivery of this piece but it is still early.
I’m interested to hear (particularly from anyone in the UK) if you have heard back your AD’s about the request / application for this piece? I would have thought that applications would have been approved by now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Have they confirmed that you will get yours next year? For some reason they are being very slow on this piece (with me at least) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Most ADs will be lucky to get one of these a year so that’s probably why they’re reluctant to commit. It’s a special piece and you’re doing well to even be considered I think. |

"Peter Shore" mentioned in an earlier post that his AD and another AD in a neighbouring town (both I believe family owned) were getting 5231Js this year. Therefore not sure how the allocation process work. |

Cheers Sam, that’s very helpful to know. That’s a lower than I thought for WOS and Boodles. I guess I’m just going to have to be patient! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m hearing the demand is underwhelming. Just fyi boys/girls
Don’t buy it just because it’s an application piece |

2 of my 3 AD’s in the US. Of course I haven’t talked o the 3rd ad in a bit...Maybe europe is doing better...I don’t know.
It’s not there isn’t demand for the pieces...it’s that the demand is below expectations = underwhelming. The key is to have an order book/backlog. And that sounds weak |

You could be right in what you said but the backlog is building below expectations. All dress models are weak. Look no further than the 2ndary market prices for all dress pieces. Just because this is an application may offset that sentiment a smidge. I have no skin in the game here and hope it’s successful. I was told it is below expectations Not that there is not enough demand for the pieces produced. |

That’s very interesting to hear, I wonder whether that’s typical of the demand in the states? I’m doubtful. Here in the UK it seems the market is very different. My AD tells me the demand is strong, however they have only selected 3 people to put an application forward. I have also spoken to Rhône management who also tell me its very very strong (at least here in the UK). I also know someone who shops at the Salon who told him the list was closed before it even opened. I don’t know whether it’s a regional thing or perhaps even a trend towards more and more sports pieces therefore an element of truth in it. For me I hope no one wants one, so I can get mine sooner!

Yeh I agree with this, my AD has only received a few applications despite receiving a lot of interest. Reality is one of us will get upset as they are likely to receive only 1 or 2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think the dial on the 5231J is phonomenal! The more I look at the map, the more I love it. It's a grail piece for me.
Does anyone know how much are these selling on greys? I can't find one on Chrono24. |

I doubt you will see any on the grey market any time soon, or at least I hope there won’t be any!! So many people flipped their 5131’s, most of them available on Chrono Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Still very early days, we will see 5231s appearing on chrono24 later this year, I think the grey market price will be around £ 125000 - 150000
