I talked to my "local" boutique yesterday, he told me that they are available and I would get one if I want one in a decent amount of time. One of those that it's better to wait and pay retail instead of giving someone profit. He also said the new FOIS would be less than 30 days.

Opposite of what I heard from my OB. Little reason for them to lie to me since I already have one from them. It could be different per store of course I guess.
Do you mean the 5th Ave boutique? My SA there says it’s impossible, but I chalk it up to me being a little fish asking the biggest boutique in terms of sales. Others have said if I buy more with them then it’s doable. Have to imagine in other places its similar or better.
Currently in Japan and was able to compare the Snoopy 50th with the Tokyo Panda.
Of interest is the way the dials reflect the light with the Snoopy sterling staying more grey compared to the Panda’s opaline that’s reflecting more yellow of the incandescent lighting.
Would you happen to remember the pricing for the Snoopy 50th in Japan?
New? It retails in Japan for ￥1,639,000 currently but the wait lists are extensive.
My mate has been on the list since just after announcement at the AD where he got his Tokyo panda and they’ve never received an allocation.
I was told that an OB in Ginza has 1k+ on the wait list and in another OB it is 800+ and seems unlikely to be fulfilled.
In HK though seems an AD there has one in the back but you have to talk watches first and then also buy another piece and you would have a chance.
I've never seen this delivery ratio, at least in Spain. I guess around 10 / week, as I know 4 guys from Spanish that have been called from Monday to today (Thursday).
That's good that more people are getting one. Hopefully it's going to actual collectors and not just flippers since the watch hype market is cooling down.
Retail price is now very close to gray market one
You're referring to the 14k+ gray market prices on C24?
Retail price is now very close to gray market one.....
Where? I don't see any of these going anywhere close to retail price of CHF 10,100 or USD $10,600 on the gray market. Maybe the seller isn't making a ton of money now, but the buyer is still paying well over retail.
Yes.
And that price includes C24 comissions and dealers profit. "Normal" seller can get hardly his money back if he sells it to a professional. Maybe a small profit if he manages to sell directly to final costumer.

here we have a delta of 2300€ between the retail price (11700€) et the grey market (14000€)...
