Deposit Down!
Since I first got into watches my grail was always a 15202ST. I turn 40 this year and have been back in forth on what to do and am able to go the step up from Rolex this year. I (thought about a aquanaut and 15400 blue) finally settled on getting a royal Oak Chrono in Blue as: 1. It's something I can actually get without paying a premium and 2. I find my tastes have changed to liking a little more going on on the dial. Super excited and will have to wait a few months until after the summer factory shut down.
Thought I'd throw it out there that after speaking to many different boutiques, that the Miami Westin boutique (not the bal harbor) mentioned they'd be getting a 15400 in ruthenium/anthracite (grey, whatever you want to call it) royal oak soon and it seemed to be unspoken for. Just FYI if a TRFer wants to make a call to see if it's still available. These seem to be getting hard to find. Excited to become a member of the AP club this year!!! |

Congrats! Turning 40 in October and picked up a 5164 (came available a little early ) to mark it. Congrats again and I am sure you will love it!

Has anyone been asked to make full payment in advance before getting the watch? I called boutiques in BVerly hills and Vegas and both asked for advance payment in full to get a 15400.

Have they given you a time scale once deposit has been placed? |

NY only takes 25% but it’s AP owned unlike Vegas and BH.

I wasn’t asked to with the 15407 but do know someone who was asked to PIF prior to delivery.
Based on the quoted wait time I’d have no issue with full payment. If it was a long or unknown wait it would be a different matter! |

Very nice - I think we had a very similar mindset and I ended up going with a 5167 and 15400. The ROC is a fantastic choice as well.
Happy birthday to the 5164 owner as well. Lovely picture. |

they told me possibly in Aug. Seems a bit open-ended.
