After 3 months of enlisting myself at every dealer and boutique in Switzerland, I decided to pay a “small” premium on the grey dial. It’s my first AP, and it’s interesting to observe how people react to it, and how it influences perception!

Not an everyday wearer like my Rolex explorer, but when the occasion comes, it sure does hit another level of style, luxury, status, and beauty!

Nice watch. How long did you try to source a grey dial? I obtained my black dial without waiting and thought these two colors were widely available.

Started sourcing in August, live in Switzerland, and registered with Bucherer and two AP boutiques...standard answer I got was 1-2 years. So went grey instead and found a good deal here in Geneva from a private seller. When did you obtain the black dial? Even in Switzerland, these watches are near impossible to get at MRSP, unless you have serious connections.

Allocation sizes I am told are higher for the US than Switzerland. I received my black 15500 watch in June from AP here in the US.

danicasi2002 · 9 October 2019, 07:08 AM

BTW, beautiful timepiece

locutus49 · 9 October 2019, 07:10 AM

You're one lucky guy to get one without a wait! Must have some good connections at your AD. Or maybe you're just a big spender!

eskiserkan · 9 October 2019, 08:12 AM

Nice watch, me also looking for the blue dial couldnt get any chance with several AP owned boutiques to put my name on the list.

tcheeco · 9 October 2019, 08:25 AM

Congrats, enjoy it

teflonchest · 9 October 2019, 08:28 AM

Received mine in late May after my friend went to the Carribean and made connection there while vacationing. So wasn’t even usa mainland boutique. Basically, He was offered both grey or black and we ended up buying both

Razorbackrolex · 9 October 2019, 08:29 AM

Congrats dude! Shes a beauty. Sometimes the white gold hour markers almost look black to me they flash so much. Love it

barracuda28 · 9 October 2019, 08:54 AM

Are all the 15500 boutique exclusive or just the blue dial???

My understanding only the blue dial is exclusively through the boutiques. But as you know, distribution is slowly being limited to either third-party-run or company-run AP boutiques.

Gorgeous. Congrats on your AP!

Batmannr1 · 9 October 2019, 03:32 PM

Beautiful timepiece. I love the grey dial. Congratulations!
Difficult to buy at the AD. Supply of 15500’s to non-boutiques is very limited due to AP policy to move to a boutique-only model the next years.

Chary · 9 October 2019, 07:10 PM
