Incoming it's green (50th)

Got the call over the weekend they had 15510 in green with my name on it. I was thrilled/excited I may have been stuttering:-)

When i visited Boutique a few weeks back, I told 50th anniversary in green was sold out slim chance they were able to allocate one. I've been waiting for 15510 (green) close to a yr.

Grateful be part of 50th anniversary family!!

What an exciting way to close out the year! Huge congrats on an incredible reference and what sounds like one of the few remaining anniversary allocations!

Love it…at the last possible moment…what a finish to the year!

But that was daring of you as well. Were you willing to miss out on a 50th piece if they didn’t get a green?! Or was your priority a green 15510, regardless of whether it was 50th or not?
The latter makes more sense given the situation.
Regardless, congratulations.

Thank you!! I would taken green dial in a heart beat whether it was 50th or not. 50th anniversary rotary was icing on the cake, grateful to receive right before Christmas!

Congrats!! Beautiful piece.

We’re you offered a different colour first and turned it down and they managed to pull this off last minute for you?

Congrats to you as well!! Yes I was told this was last batch they received for 2022. Dial doesn't look like green until you're outside the sun. Regardless I'm grateful to be part of 50th anniversary!

My SA knows I was only interested "Green" dial so no I was not offered different colors. Otherwise it hard to tell it's green unless you're out in the sun. The dial looks more like dark grey indoor.

I showed interest for a Blue or Green dial 15510 50th since day one.

My SA called me and offered a grey dial a couple of months ago… I asked if there is there any way I can get a blue or green dial instead… he said they were already accounted for. He said we can wait and see if something comes in by the end of the year but you might miss the boat on the 50th Anniversary. I played it safe a bought the grey dial…

Now I’m second guessing myself… lol
