Probably true in the bigger Hermès boutiques but not true in all of them.

I think all brands with allocation style models are feeling the brunt of the luxary demand increasing and have in turn massively jacked up how much non-hot stuff needs to be bought in effect being their price increase to stay ahead of the curve.

Now I bet there’s a 6 year wait for the steel cufflinks?

Lol i think buying a pair of 5k cufflinks is a great way to start relationship if you don’t want code. Same goes with Tourneau in Vegas couple years ago, the SA told me Rolex steel model only go to existing client(he told me get some cufflinks or montblanc pens, then I could place deposits on some of steel sport model).

If buying 5k cufflinks can get me a RO at MSRP that's really good. Grey market prices are above MSRP by at least $10k so you still come out ahead lol.

I uh...think and hazard a guess that in this case being friend of kimwizzzuuu had much more to do with it than simply buying the cufflinks!

That’s not from nyc boutique. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but the result was there.

Consider the market now yes, it’s worth it, but not many people want those cufflinks at first glance. Something bigger, you could always drop 30k for this object to get on the list

This giant is 30k?? Does it actually work? If it does I can't believe it's cheaper than my 15450...

Have not and will not do any future business with MG again.

No box on a $80k purchase (even tho purchase amount shouldn’t matter) while it said so in the description! I’d be pissed

Fwiw, my only interaction with MG was around a year ago when they offered me a new blue 15500st straight for my blue 15400st

27 plus tax to be exact. The rotor is not made by gold thats why it’s cheaper, and finishing smaller scale is a lot harder. I know the rotor could wind both direction

[macrowatch]

If the rotor was made or gold or inscribed with bitcoin key, I'd be all over it!

While we're on the topic for NYC botique, do they at least have any interesting marketing pieces to go see right now? Or is it really just some free water as a pit stop walking over the 47th street to be able to see watches?

I’ve tried on new ceramic code in both metals, new divers, green dial BA roc, black panther two weeks ago. I don’t know if they still have those marketing pieces to try on. I don’t think they got the new offshores or rose gold ROC when I was there.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Did anyone get allocated a 15500 after buying Code 1159?

I was there last month and was able to try on a black dial 15500st, 37mm RO and a 41mm Chrono! Great experience and was offered Champagne as well.

To top it off, I was offered the 15500st 02 grey dial which I’ve been hunting since release last week. Heading back to the amazing NYC boutique to have it sized next weekend. This was my third visit to the NYC boutique, and I’m about 5 deep in Vegas and one in Miami go give you an idea how persistent I’ve been. NYC really came through for me.

Stopped by the NYC boutique again to have the 1.5 link put on my 15500ST. It definitely will be a better fit in the warmer months.

Had my daughters with me today, and they were kind enough to give them some swag as well!

Ha, great shirts! I was there about 1230pm or so today taking a link out of my 15300!

I got my 15500 black dial from NYC boutique. No prior purchase history, put 25% deposit and waited for about 4 months. Unfortunately, that SA already left and I just connected with another SA and I was told my name is on the list for another non-blue dial 15500ST. I am not sure if it’s true or not. I am waiting for the silver dial now
