nope. Only grey and way over list if you can even find one. Looking at 1-2 years if you order from AP direct.

Apparently RG openworked versions are readily available at stores though according to the 15202 and 15400 boutiques not taking deposits thread. If you have the money and don't want to wait...

No AD’s have even gotten one so only Boutiques thus far. To even get one you have to pay in full at Boutique and even then you don’t know when. You are likely looking a few years out IMHO as so few being released especially in SS. I know AD’s taking deposits also and have long lists already but again who knows if they will even get one as again all so far have gone to Boutiques. So if you want one any time soon you are going to have to pay a premium. I know 15305st’s that have recently sold for $46k and last retail on it was $37,600. So clearly the OW watches are hot and hard to get so pay up or pass.

No chance my friend! We have all struck out. Can't even prepay in full if willing to wait a year.

Readily available? Still can’t get one at any Boutique here in US. I called every one. They have not received many but yes more than SS which has been pretty invisible. No OW AP easy to get nowadays and only through Boutiques.

FWIW, I have seen the RG 15407 at the NYC boutique several times in the last 12 months and have seen them listed below msrp by greys. The RG was not moving quickly initially. Current market could be different but was easier 9 months ago. But the 15407 in ss is impossible moment and drove the price of the 15305 way up ever since its introduction. This one from Feb was at list. Pics have been pulled unfortunately. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=520224 |

readily available is a stretch. Ive seen one at a boutique (well the london version of a boutique) so i could have bought it without being on a wait list as I'm pretty sure it was not spoken for at the time. Just saying its easier to find than the SS by a lot. I still don't think AD's are getting any though.

I guess the msrp price differential between the RG and the SS version is encouraging SS demand. Few years ago when I got got my RG Skeleton 15305OR, it was going at a significant discount at AD. Surprise it has become so hot recently. Still pondering if actual demand is so high, or it's a supply driven demand or people are just speculating.
Anyway, glad I kept mine. Upgraded with a RG bracelet And I am actually thinking of adding the 41mm SS version.

I didn’t dig into detail but a glance comment was the RG wait is a lot shorter then the SS. |

Far more impressive to me than the extra-thin tourbillon openworked. That had way too much empty space.

I've been searching boutiques for the 15407or and no luck.
Offered to even pay in full and still nada. Spoke to a big trusted seller on the forums, and he paid over MSRP recently and sold it to a DEALER for even more. |

i would reach out to a boutique in europe. The boutique to population ratio in the US is much higher so it might be harder to find. Maybe try Paris? With the vat back, you can make it a mini holiday to collect.

What a terrible way to treat a nice watch. No style at all.

Unless he is a giant though, the watch looks small in comparison to his hands.

I’m in the process of adding the RG piece——unfortunately the price just hurts

If it is for the SS no chance, around 1,5 years ago I contacted the Director of the Paris Boutique about the SS, said he didn’t have any and didn’t have any idea when he would get one, but said he had the RG if I wanted to see, since apparently they are even harder to find than back then, would imagine they won’t have it, but doesn’t hurt to call and ask...
