Yup. That was the first 2 pieces that I purchased. After that, I bought one offshore and then concept. The limited ones are for this year.

Not to mention laying out that money for an unspecified time until you can get the piece you really want.
There are a few skeleton pieces and some chrono RO that I choose not to mention. I just wanted to point out that one million will only result in 4 pieces. that’s all.

I would believe Kittayos as he is very reliable with the PP and AP market.

OP, I wanted the 41mm 15407 but price went up and its too big on my wrist. The next option was 39mm SS version or the 37mm OR version both price at USD 100k that time, I went for the 37mm OR since retail I think was near $80k so $20k premium. anyway I think price as you said went up again so I think its a good move for me to get it then.

I think you are a couple Codes away from actually getting on the long list for it

Spending USD 1.5M on a few APs in 12 months may be the best way to achieve your personal goals and also serve you well financially in the end.

That said, the above statement easily wins first prize for the most hubristic I have read on TRF recently. Speaking about losing touch with the world outside of the bubble people are living in.
