Which is hardest to be allocated by Boutique?

[Octagon Guy]

Was having a discussion with my peers regarding Boutique allocations and 3 references came up. And we were having different views on which was hardest to obtain.

1) 16202BA 50th Anniversary

2) 15407ST

3) Starwheel

What's your thoughts?

Judging by the number of incoming threads, and the fact that I've been waiting for the 16202BA for 2+ years now, I'd say: 16202BA is hardest, Starwheel and 15407ST are in the same ballpark, depending on location and state of collection.

So can I safely assume the production numbers of the 16202BA 50th anniversary is super rare?

I would say ba
But I think the openwork has the highest over retail for whatever that’s worth.

My boutique got 2 of the 16202BA 50th. Maybe next year, when everyone else is queueing up for the 150th anniversary.

I can't find any references with regards to the 16202BA market price. Seems very elusive.

2 per Boutique is considered very low numbers considering the production is just for a year. But even for the non 50th 16202BA, doubt demand will soften with the release of the upcoming 150th Anniversary references.

I think I’m seeing them in the 140~ range? Does that sound right?
15407 in the 150~ range? With I’m assuming a lower retail price?
I could def be wrong here!

I don't know if it sounds right as I didn't come across any for sale yet. The 140 range is for the 50th anniversary edition? Or the 50th doesn't command any additional premium in the market?

Are the 50th anniversary models still being sold by AP anywhere? I thought these were only available in 2022, after which the rotor changed back to normal, and I simply assumed all primary stock would long be gone.

50th rotor discontinued when 2022 ended.
