42mm TI question. (26238TI)

Hi,
Thoughts of this as a first AP? Currently have a sea Dweller 43 and a Sky dweller. I like bigger watches and think this or stainless as my next purchase. Love to see some pictures and hear thoughts on it

What the chances are of getting one direct? Any chance at all or would suggest gray? Don’t mind a wait but unsure of my chances.

Thanks!

Do you have a good spend history with your AD on AP?

Id look at gray as it doesn't seem there is a premium, perhaps even a discount going gray.

Yeah, I’d be starting from scratch with AP 0 spend.

My boutique said they only saw one last year, but it is something they could likely chase down. Point being, I don’t thing production numbers are high, and if you plan one and done, grey may be the way to go.

It was also my first AP from boutique. Indeed they recieve 1-2/ year. So light and confortable. You can have a sweet discount if you go grey.
