Buying ap at retail in London

Hi, had some good fortune recently & want to buy a 155100RO at retail, cost is about £38k.
Only had one before but bought on the secondary market. No buying history from AP
Have heard recently that these can be bought from the AD with a waiting list.
I am not going to buy anything else to get on the privilege of buying to get on the buying list as I think it’s crap & well, life’s too short. I have 2 in mind. Does anyone have any information about retail?

1st one possible with a little wait, 2nd one very difficult unless you buy a few pieces or have someone extraordinary introduce you to the brand.

I think it's better to go for RO 15510OR with full bracelet and you can purchase extra leather strap later. It will be cheaper than 15510OR with leather strap and purchase rose gold bracelet later.

You do know there are no AD’s in the Uk now?

Until APH Manchester opens this year (WoS joint venture) it means that the 3 APH sites in London are the only supply route.

Personally I don’t think either of those 15510’s are that realistic as a first allocation in the Uk market. And the ST Blue is pretty much impossible until you’re 2/3 watches in and the 15510RO Blue is a rare allocation on the same purchase basis too.

Or do you have an in/intro to APH?

Based on your experience with the brand in UK how long is the wait for 15510OR blue as first purchase?

See post # 8 mate. It’s pretty rare first allocation here in the Uk.
