Wait, what? Premium? You said you bought at an AP boutique, MSRP is below market price for these on the secondary market. Why would you have paid a premium?

He means the price just went up. Was 22k in July. Now MSRP is 24K and some change

Maybe a few people were out of pocket and a few people dropped out.

And maybe the price hike even helped you out, if a few others balked at paying $2K more than the earlier price. Not sure about that, though... when I was on the wait list earlier this year, the Boutique had told me that "usually" a price increase would not affect people with a deposit already down.

Anyways, enjoy the watch. It's definitely grail-worthy!

If the $2k change shifted demand that much. We just found the equilibrium.

Lol, not enough info to conclude anything. Maybe AP ramped up output before August break.

Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I was just saying there could be various reasons why wait-lists are sometimes shorter than expected. We really don't know why. We can endlessly speculate, but it's just speculation.

Honestly, I have no idea, but OP is happy and I'm happy (waited longer than OP, but not as long as expected--I was told a few people ahead of me were out of the country when my Jumbo came in). And I'm happy that I got mine before the price hike. :-)

Flybak · 10 August 2018, 07:00 AM

Fantastic watch, and great you had a short wait for it!

Malren · 13 August 2018, 04:23 AM

Hey congrats! Looks amazing!
Which boutique did you get it from?

blcblc · 13 August 2018, 08:19 PM

Nice. Congrats!!

TimeOnHand · 13 August 2018, 10:17 PM

Thats a sexy watch man... congrats!

wisguy · 13 August 2018, 11:36 PM

Enjoy, definitely one of the best watches out there, super comfortable and elegant.

I had to sell mine to fund something else, but I miss it a lot.

keller · 14 August 2018, 09:54 AM

Very nice, congratulations

runner9 · 14 August 2018, 11:52 AM

What a beauty watch, I love mine.
Congrats

Ichiran · 14 August 2018, 11:58 AM

This is a very beautiful icon. Wear in good health and congrats!

watchthisway · 14 August 2018, 12:10 PM

congrats!

glad you were able to get one (and new no less!) after that avi & co fiasco. strangely avi still has one of the lowest prices for the 15202 on chrono24, using what looks to be a stock photo...not sure if that whole issue was ever resolved.

Did you get it from a boutique in the US? Mind sharing what boutiques puts you on the wait list even without prior purchase history? Thank you in advance

Stunning. And looks great on you. Enjoy!
