Incoming Blue 15500
Got the call Monday (6/10) that my 15500 was finally at the Bal Harbour Boutique. Thanks to Francina for all of her help.
I placed my deposit first week of May, watch was in hand June 11th. Haven’t had a chance to get it sized yet but some teaser pics below: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How much of a deposit did they ask for? I’ve had a couple of ADs ask for full payment up front for a couple of the higher in demand APs. Not loving it, but seems like the only way to guarantee priority.

25% of retail was all they asked for, I’d try best to go straight to a boutique if you have that as an option. Bal Harbour in FL was great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes! I’ve spoken to them. We don’t have an AP in San Francisco and this boutique has been one of the most professional and accommodating I’ve spoken to.

Congrats! Did you have prior history with the boutique, since you were able to get a blue dial allocation?

Don't recommend putting full payment up front. I currently have a 5k deposit on my 15500

I actually had zero prior experience with any AP boutique. I did have an issue with my ROO ghost which could have slated me higher on the list for this piece. Check out my other thread “AP fell off Ghost” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Haven’t really had a chance to wear this, I think this will be a dinner/evening out watch and the ghost will be more my daily to work etc..

Yeah i don’t really have plans on flipping the watch. The only thing i did possibly consider was trading for the new 15500OR which would certainly reap the benefit of the trade value. But I’m pretty happy with steel and the value retention there so i will most likely stay put and enjoy it as one should

Agreed. I don’t expect they will have availability like I did getting the blue 15500. It was a back and forth with former NA CEO regarding a bad experience that I had at the NYC boutique that enabled it. I was an AP customer (had the ghost and a 15400st blue dial, just never a relationship with the boutique) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
