Govberg was selling that pre-owned 15202 for $25,950 on August 31st. So what do you do when you don't sell something...? Increase the price! Then people will think it is going up in price even faster. |

That's perfect for me, as I don't need/want any new watch, the idea that the ones I have raised in value is nice, ok would take a bath on the KV but will sell it before being homeless, which shouldn't be soon

Ebay/PayPal take about 10% of that so it’s actually less for them

Just popped into NYC boutique and saw yet again a bunch of new faces. Lots of turnover there it seems. Anyway, asked about ordering a watch and was told not to bother. Just reinforces how I feel about the entire industry at the moment. Didn’t care if it was a two year wait but told don’t even bother by a place I have purchased from leaves a bad taste.

Think there should be a more tactful way for the brand boutiques/AD to handle this. One way they can do so is to sell the watch "by invitation" only so the customers don't need to ask and made to feel slighted.

I know London has a waitlist of 1 to 7 years depending on how good of friends you are with the SC staff, not how many watches you have purchased previously. Yes, we compare notes.

An AP boutique should know we get 10 pieces per year for example and 50 people on the list means a 5 year wait as i would hope the supply chain from factory to boutique would be consistent.

Some of us are or will be waiting years for the opportunity to pay full price.

For me, I am just tired of the games and when I run into them the voice inside my head reminds me this is just a watch and you have more than you can wear in a fort night. So slowly its just leading me to not caring one way or the other. I have long stopped visiting ADs as its generally unpleasant. The boutique turnover is a little frustrating as well, no continuity with staff lately. But they are just watches and lots of others ways to spend money I am discovering.

for me its the 407... but if i wanted a CE 44 or a SE ROC, ss 15202, or maybe even a blue dial ROC from the UK i would wait longer than a 5524g. Which is madness.
I don't buy grey but i know i could get it tomorrow if i wanted to.

Really? Hmm... 407 and 15202 maybe. But Blue dial ROC and CE44 should not be this hard to find... I got my Blue ROC when I asked for it ( they had it in the safe ) and was offered a CE44 although I didn't take it. That's at the AP boutique in Hong Kong. Maybe time you take a holiday to Asia for AP watch buying trip.

I’ve always wondered since the steel 15407 is the more popular model that if you wanted the RG version, would the boutique still say “sorry list is full”?
Also would you be bumped towards the top of the waitlist since the RG version is a higher margin item compared to the steel version? |
