I have the same question as edisonstar23: how did you manage to get it so quickly (or at all)? I stopped in to the NYC boutique back in 2019 to ask about a 15500ST (told them I was open to any color dial, with blue as top choice)
Saying that you are open to any colour is practically saying doesn't matter what they will give you, you buy it likely for profit...
You have to pick one model you are waiting for and stick to that.
I wanted a 15500 blue, no history with the store, went in, they said no chance to get it as first watch but lets start with a ROC instead. Got it in 2-3 months, then I was able to ask for a 15500. As got a blue ROC, didn't get a chance to get a 15500 blue but got a grey one about 6 months later. Did not regret.
Also was offered a white one during the 6 months, could have get that 2 months earlier.
