Grey 15500ST - Incoming!

So my boutique manager told me back in February that it would probably take a year for me to get this piece. A week ago I got an email saying that they have an allocation for me and if I was still interested I needed to put down a deposit. So I did and when I asked when the watch might arrive, they said maybe a month or two.
Well 6 days later I got the call!

Apparently a lot of people are out of town on vacation, and they need to move the pieces before AP will send them more, so they won't hold them and will call the next person who can take delivery without too much delay.

So here she is:

Stunning and a perfect fit, is that the grey dial or black?

Yes, depending on the angle and lighting it can look almost
black at times.

Congrats and very beautiful! I personally prefer it over the black as it takes on different shades.

Yes I was set on getting the grey, but they also had a black one when I went in.
I did one more side to side comparison, and reaffirmed my choice for the grey.

The black has more contrast, but the grey is more unique, and as you said, takes on different shades, and is really a thing of beauty. Also, I have several other pieces with black dials, and this is my first grey.
