AP ROC in ST?

[Lindhuirst]

Hi all!

Can you guys who know more about AP please tell me;

I’m interested in the ROC and really would like to try them on and see sizes.
26331 vs 26315, both in steel.

Does the Boutiques usually have these to try? (even of they are not available)
I Will be in Zürich this weekend.

Regarding the colours, is the blue 26331 way more limited in production or are they all the same, just that blue is more sought after?

Same for 26315, grey vs white/blue sub dials ?

Take care all!

The blue 26331 is both more limited in production and more in demand.

26331 production is equal across the colors but blue is in higher demand.

It’s anyone’s guess whether they’ll have 26331st or 26315st available but it doesn’t hurt to try. They’re not hot pieces but there’s strong underlying demand with modest waiting lists.

Worse case, they’ll likely have the OR variants for both so you can at least try those on for sizing

Marketing pieces differ by Botique. However if they have either size reg royal oak as marketing pieces it should help you decide on size. Or just find a second shop that has them to try.

Zurich does not have these pieces. They have basically nothing in the boutique, but feel free to try, I haven't been for a few months. You could try Les Ambassadeurs, they may have some steel pieces to try and buy pre-owned (expect massive premiums if they have any).

Thanks all! Pretty much what I was expected.

I´ll try and see what comes.

"Massive premiums" on ROCs?

From What I can see on C24 the ROC are below or at retail. No massive premiums?

If they are that good price, they will have plenty at the boutiques/ADs. Only the items that are not available at ADs will have a premium.

Not sure where you are looking but that is absolutely not the case in the US.

Agree. White and Black dial seem to be in the $30k range, with Blue dial closer to $33k.

Well, it looks like its the currancy.
The USD has taken a huge dive againt our currancy lately.

My retail converted to euro is 31.600 after the AP raise on july 1st.
That is now around 37k USD. Sick....

Can anybody please tell me the retail of the 26331 in a european country like Germany, France etc?

Looks like I should go to the US and pick one up....

To clarify, if one reads my post I'm clearly referring to a particular Zurich store that I have experience with and they did charge 25% up on a pre-owned mint black dial ROC a year ago. These were trading close to retail even on C24. Still a fantastic shop and they have probably sold it because Switzerland, just giving the heads-up.

Current retail for st ROC (26331) is 27'000 CHF/27'900 €, as per AP's website.

Wow! Thats a CHF 7000 diff from Scandinavia.

[C_Troy242]

Yes, def. depends on country, this was the quoted price for Germany; even France, Spain etc are 1000€+ higher.

Crazy how expensive these have gotten if you think about it :)
