15500 Wait List with no buyer history

Hi All,

Just wondering if there's any chance at all of getting a 15500? I'm far away from any AD, so it would have to be a phone call. I'm guessing the answer is no, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks guys

You'll have the best chance if you can actually go to a boutique, there's been a shift in philosophy where there's more of a focus on getting to know the client as opposed to just selling to individuals chronologically.

I've been discussing an allocation with an AD for about 6 months. She thought I could get a 15500ST (no purchase history) but informed me this week that AP has changed their policy, and management now has to approve purchases for the steel RO and also mentioned that their allocation would likely be getting smaller.

She was genuinely apologetic, and I am genuinely disappointed. I also didn't realize the price had increased from 19,200 to 20,400.

I love the watch, but not its crossing a psychological barrier for me - not that I can get one anyway apparently!
