Likelihood of Starwheel CODE as 3rd or 4th watch?
Hi all, looking to sit down with my AD on potential future allocations - have purchased a blue diver and ROC as my first two watches.
Was thinking of perhaps expressing interesting for a 15550ST (37mm) RO as my 3rd piece and a Starwheel CODE as my 4th. Obviously not in a rush to get these but do folks think these are realistic requests / wishlist watches? Thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Two lovely AP’s you already have OP! I have the grey diver and fancy a RO sometime down the line.
Speaking purely from observations gleaned from this forum and not at all from first hand experience, I think your 3rd request is totally reasonable. A starwheel for your 4th I feel however might be a stretch. Ultimately your SA will be best placed to advise and let me wish you the best of luck. P.S. which RO chrono do you have, I imagine perhaps a 38mm given you’re seeking a 15550ST? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thank you!! It’s a 26240ST, so looking for something that’s a little smaller and simpler with the 15550ST. Thank you for the wishes - good luck with your future RO allocation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Do-able, not easy and will depend on your SA and their relationship with you.

Anecdotally it’s harder to get a starwheel than a jumbo. I just got my jumbo as my 5th, and I might have a chance at sw for my 6th, but who knows. I don’t mind waiting until 150th models come out first to see what I want to get next

I have three APs and two were bought in 2023. I am under the impression that the Starwheel will be nearly impossible to obtain, I think in part due to low production. I will add a Code at some point, and something like a Starwheel or perhaps an upcoming complication would be what I want.

After reading various posts on Starwheel allocations, I think it depends on the demand and where you live. I was offered the Starwheel (without asking for it) after my 15510ST, and I declined.
Best of luck for your 15550ST (Which dial color?

Thank you! Thinking of the ice blue one which I know is not an easy ask either. Am thinking / hoping Asia may be easier for the Starwheel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Afraid Asia might not be easy too. I own 10 pieces, Jumbo, Openworked, ROO, CODE included, but still can't get Starwheel which I requested when it was launched years ago.

I’ve nicknamed this piece as the “dream on” piece.
Super difficult to get in SG. |
