Learned the lesson that waiting may cost you more in the long run!

Yes I agree with all said in May last year I purchased a Rolex Sub T/T 116613LB for 7,800 from a Grey Dealer in the north of England today it is advertised in the same Grey Dealer for 8,800 I think & in April of this year I purchased a Daytona 116503 for 11,210 & now it's been advertised by the same Grey Dealer for 11.950 so a big jump in price in just over a year. I'm really glad I purchased when I did I saved several thousand at the time of purchase but since the last month I have really saved big overall

In fact in the UK, AP has no boutique or plans to buy a serious plot on Bond St, tho some are available, because it just won't make enough money to be justified and so the APSC office is serving as a makeshift boutique but that is clearly not helping the brand name to newcomers.

Perhaps, but I am not suggesting that direct online would be there only sales channel - merely potentially an additional one.

This could very well be the case. But I wouldn't worry too much about plummeting prices. There will always be new movements not much you can do about that. Historically I don't honk there has been much impact on price over the long term. Plus with supply so low its most likely a moot point.
