I got 10 % on my 15300, but I seriously believe that mine was one of the last 15300 in the US when I bought it.

How does the 3rd year warranty sticker work with Gray area AP's? I'm looking at a 15400 RO but, as I understand it, you need to buy from an AD to qualify for the 3rd year sticker. That or the seller needed to buy from an AD. Some gray sellers offer their own 2 year warranty for a BNIB RO of which kind of sketches me out on an AP.

22% and tax on my 15400 from AD. Paid w amex. I knew what I could get one from on here and simply insisted on the same pricing. Took two ADs before I found a taker. AD said only because it was black dial which has less demand than silver.

You need to arrange your timepiece to Ap service center (Clearwater FL) with your warranty booklet properly stamped and dated by the AD, within the first 2 years of warranty period for AP to perform the water resistant test in order to enjoy the extra year extension of the warranty.

Im only interested in the 15202 and it seems that discounts are way different for that model. Anyone got a good deal on the new Jumbo?

It's the "properly stamped" part that could be a problem from a gray area seller. I suspect I would be SOL for the warranty extension if an AD was not involved in the transaction. Maybe not, but I want to make sure I understand how this all works before making a purchase. This would be the first NIB watch I've bought.

Lot of the grey dealers get them through ad's, so they would/should be stamped. Can always ask the seller.

That's good news. I just fired off an email to one of the sellers asking about the stamp.

Yup, takuya was able to do that for me. A 15400 complete with AD stamp. Registered it on AP's website with my name and address right afterwards to make sure I was in their database in case of a break in or other theft down the road.

About 20% on steel and maybe 30 on the rg models here in Singapore from AD. I did get 25% off my 26320 steel with cash payment though.

Ceramic divers seem to be going for ard 27.5k to 28k sgd Bnib.

It's a boutique only piece. While the occasional ad may get one, you will not see discounts. Compared to the 44 though the ceramic diver is a steal.

Agreed. Bought mine a while ago without any discount. Only saw it from boutiqies. Beautiful piece I love. Thanks for your reply!

I'll add takuya to the list. I've purchased 4 watches from him including an AP and all deals have been great.
