Just for the 15400 & Discontinued 15300 the blue dial is a boutique only, I believe. The 15202 Jumbo you can get blue dial at any AP AD, hell I just saw a 15202OR blue dial in my ADs case when I popped in a week ago.

Hmmm.....thanks for the replies peeps. Asking cause our AD in Malaysia seem to say all blue dials are only sold in the Malaysia boutique. Asked the Malaysia boutique and the sales person confirmed it but I found it odd as I could find them online through many overseas retailers.

Discontinued 26320ST blue dial was a AP boutique exclusive as well.

I have to agree that i seen many 15202s been sold in the net from reputable dealers, the 15400 Blue however im certain is Boutique available only. Recently i had to take a flight to visit an AP boutique because i am interested buying one.

Generally the 15400 and jumbo are boutique watches but good ADs are able to source them. AP isn't firm on the boutique only rule. It was the same with the 15707ce

Negative. I purchased my RO Chrono Blue from a large AD. I also know (not sure if they still have it) a Blue Stainless QP was available recently too. I purchased my from a Boutique thinking it was an exclusive but I actually laid eyes on it at the AD. Even the new Ceramic QP will be available at AD's down the road. Typically Boutiques get first allocation and depending on demand, some special watches will make it down to AD's.

Yes, I was told the same when I bought my 15400 blue dial from the AP Boutique at Starhill last October.

Unless you are after specific boutique only models (and the 5 year warranty), you are better off getting from other AD's /reseller in Malaysia, price wise.
