All steel blue dial RO are VIP only. Little to no chance without previous relationship.

A good way to answer these kinds of question is to look at grey market prices (for instance chrono24.com). If the grey prices are lower or around MSRP then it should be easy to get. The higher the grey price, the harder it is to get. For the 15450 blue dial the grey price is around 24k-25k while MSRP is 16.5. Thus grey price is around 50% above MSRP making it a hard to get piece.

SS models are likely hard to obtain without a relationship implied by purchase history from an AD - even more so the blue dial SS models.

It’s medium hard to get a white or grey dial. It’s very, very hard to get a blue dial. The grey or white dial was about 6-7 months on wait list in the early summer. The blue is easily over a year if they even allocate to you.

Same. Gray would be a couple of months. They seemed receptive to accepting deposits though.

The Grey's charge very little more than msrp on the white dial. DavidSW has it for $18,975. $2k more for grey. A premium but only about 2 x State sales tax for the white.

I called NYC AP a few weeks back and they wished me luck. Same in the new Hamptons boutique. If I was open to a chrono, I was invited to come by.

For the NYC folks in this thread, I’ll probably be selling my blue 15450 soon. I’m also in NYC. DM me if interested.

They never answered me on that saying only that they had a few things I might be interested in and that in any event, I could try their floor models on and get sized up. I never took them up on their offer, buying instead from a gray dealer on C-24.
