so many orchard road..???

there are only 100 pieces of AP ROO orchard road in the whole wide world...... hey but what and where the heck is orchard road..???

pretty simple, it's the name of THE very famous road here in singapore which is choked full of shopping malls ...... and the AP boutique is located at nowhere else but orchard road of cos....

ok let's not get carried away with the name and now back to the important issue.... since there are only 100 pieces manufactured for the boutique, you'd expected them to be scarce and hard to find..... remember what the ADs and boutique staff told you? "very difficult to get" they said.....

however, in recent weeks and months, i noticed that quite a few have sprouted out in used-goods dealers in singapore...... and many pieces are listed as Brand New In Box (BNIB), which means that the watches are in a almost-brand-new and unused condition.....i think the owners bought the watches most likely with the intention for flipping............ outside of singapore, there are a few pieces being offered in international watch forums ....

it's a pity really..... cos those that had wanted to get one at list price never had a chance......
