Question on being in the "waiting list"
My wife got the call for a 77350SR after putting her name 2 years ago and not really bothering to follow up on it.
So being a good husband that I am, I decided to tag along to the AP house. She purchased her watch and then registered interest for a 15551OR. When the bracelet was getting resized for my wife, the sales lady asks am I interested in anything. I said yeah of course the Jumbo blue dial - unsurprisingly shot down. Then she says may be she can put my name down for 15510 black dial. I say of course, that is also really nice, thank you and typed my details into the iPad. My question is: 1) Is that it and I am now on the waiting list? I just have to wait however many years to be allocated a 15510? It would be super to have a 15510 at retail price but I am not desperate enough to buy a Code 11.59 to ensure it happens. 2) Is there non-monetary hoop that I can and should jump through to make the allocation comes faster (I am assuming that I am now in the list or this is the wrong thinking)? Much appreciated in advance for your comments. |

I think you’re in a good position. You have purchase history plus the SA had mentioned black dial 15510 so it’s definitely doable. I don’t think you will have to wait for years for it, probably few months.

I introduced a friend of mine to AP House who wanted a 15510. He got offered a black dial 6 months later. That was last year and if anything I’d say things were easier. I’m nobody in the grand scheme of things AP wise so it’s not like I had any sway.
I’ll say the same to you as I said to him, keep in contact with the SA. Follow up occasionally and show some interest. Not every 5 minutes, but the odd what’s app message or email can’t hurt and can more likely help. |

You’re going to get it. Probably about like waiting for a submariner- if I had to guess I’d say 3-6 months. Wouldn’t be surprised for you to get it by Christmas.
You’ll probably get the jumbo too, they’re not as impossible as you think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
