15400 Pricing
Have been looking for a good mint to new 15400, all stainless, silver dial, full set, for the last 8 months. Prices from trusted sellers were in the high 12,000 to mid 13,000 for late model mint watches. In the last few months prices have increased in the 20 - 25% range. Can’t quite figure this one out, does anyone have an idea of the market dynamics going on here? Thanks

I’ve noticed the increases too. I bought my 15400st silver dial 3.5 years ago for $11,300 BNIB, so I’m feeling pretty good about purchase. If I ever tire of it, I can afford to have it serviced before the sale to get top dollar and avoid an arguments over the condition.
The only thing I can figure is with Rolex prices going up, the trusted sellers are pushing these prices up too to stay ahead of Rolex pricing. Think about it - with prices pushing $9.9k for a BLNR the 15400st had to rise to protect the “value” of the AP.

I feel your pain. I bought my 15400 after Roger, aka after the last US price increase , and paid 13300 new from an AD. I traded it at a value of like 11k
You’re looking down the barrel of a HOT market. I paid 21 for my jumbo and those were going for 18 all day just 6 months before I bought Good luck timing this crap.

I was offered a new silver dial last month for 16K, watch was perfect but the wood box had a small scuff. I had been looking for one for three months so I jumped on it.

AP playing with inventory within the 40,000 pcs/year. Expect even lower nos. next year when new line is launched.

Sorry to hijack the thread. I also notice the smaller brother 15300 price also increased lately. Do you guys see this trend also?

I think a lot of stainless steel watches across the board are experiencing a lack of inventory thus a firmer price or price increases. The Sub (date or no date) seems to be quite firm for both used and BNIB.
I kind of like the situation considering everyone who has bought one always like to get a pat on the back for "not" losing money. |

If you prefer box and papers in your name the AP boutiques have all but the blue 15400’s available at retail. |

I think it will stabilize. The 39mm sizing seems to be coming back to fad and prices along with it. That should bring the 41mm variants down some,

It helped me out as I was flipping a 15300 in order to fund my 116500 purchase. But right now it's a seller's market.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of purchasing the SS Royal Oak 15400 this weekend. White/silver dial.
Has anybody purchased an AP watch from Sydney Australia? What is the general discount from an Authorized Dealer? |

I can’t speak for Sydney but discounts in the states are hard to come by and practically non existent. The market is even hotter than when the thread started.

So true. 18 months ago you could get 20% off without much negotiation, walk into a boutique to buy a blue 15400, or get a 15202 from a boutique with a short wait. Now no discounts anywhere and blue dial RO's are wait listed for a 1 year or longer.

FHB hinted a new line was coming soon. Who knows what it will be but my guess is something on a strap. Time will tell.

I’m guessing a dress watch line also which will have an in-house chronograph movement.

I have a chance to get a silver one very soon, and don't think I should pass up the opportunity. |

I’d bet 10k the 15400 lives on for 2019 without a major overhaul.

The 15400 already experienced a small refresh in the I series / 2015. The logos were updated and so did the bracelet. The watch has only been out since 2012. The 15400 is still fairly young compared to how long some of the other previous generations have lasted. If anyone is worried about prices, over time the previous generations tend to increase in value not decrease. |

It only reinforces my decision to move forward with the 15400. BTW, how many days/week does your 15400 get wrist time relative to your other watches? |

Usually on the weekends. It's not my daily wearer. I just purchased a new Explorer 1 for the daily attire (works dress up or down) and the daily office optics.

Im thinking of pushing GO on the white SS 15400 this weekend as I can't get the blue dial...
Australia selling it for $23890. Although The AD said she can get me a blue dial in 7months... So I Did you some thinking. As there is a waitlist for the SS Blue dial, does that mean they produce the Blue colour dial in Lesser numbers and therefore it's harder to get? Or is it harder to get because everybody likes blue rather than the other 3 dials? I can't figure it out haha. |

Honestly if you can get the white in Australia that's impressive. I've visited hour glass in Sydney and Melbourne within the last few months both claimed they hadn't seen a 15400 for 6+ months |

__ Hey "supersam80". my apologies I misheard what she said. There is no blue dial available. Only WHITE dial. Retail. $23,300.00 No discount. Not even $1 as she said it's even lucky that she has it in the first place (wasn't sure if she said that to close the sale...). But with your comment, seems like this is a hard watch to get?
I wonder what the resell value of this watch? Does it retain it's value? |

Best to just buy watches you love and never want to sell rather than be concerned about values. And yes, in my limited experience with AP hunting the white dial is not easy to get in Australia. Keep in mind too the 15400 is relatively inexpensive in Australia, eg Singapore it's closer to $25k sgd |
