Grey Pricing

So now that I found the reference I want to try (15450) and a possible place to see it (material goods or boutique maybe?) I am realizing that these are going for way over retail via grey, is this a hard watch to get? This is my first time "diving" into AP, is the 15450 in the same league availability wise as most SS rolex models, if so I am just gonna pass

At the boutique they should at least have a diamond bezel 37mm (15451) you could try on to get a feeling for sizing of what the 15450 feels like (that’s what I did) since they don’t have any 15450’s in stock.

I think a couple of dealers (DavidSW) and OCWATCHGUY (whom I bought mine from) has a couple white dials for almost retail + tax (slightly more)...at least last time i checked!

hope this helps...i literally went through exactly what you are going through the last couple months...went on a hunt!

Yep that’s what I’m finding, I’ll probably wait that’s out a bit, see what’s what after the holidays, if the pricing goes up so be it!

Demand is overflowing from the normal ROs to these now, will be harder and harder to get in the next few months, same story for 3 years with different models in the hot zone every few months.

You should be able to get a 15450 at a boutique with a bit of a wait as long as you don't want the blue dial. Try the NYC boutique.
