15500ST white dial.

Can someone confirm the year, it has a serial number starting with R.

AFAIK, serial numbers are randomized.

Congrats!
Most probably late 2020, early 2021.
White was the last dial color to be released of the 15500 reference.
Probably the most rare vs black, blue & grey.

Nice one, white 15500ST should be close or under retail price these days I think?

You can always register your watch and that should tell you how much warranty you have left. But you need the card for that.

Nothing wrong with going grey. If it's within your means, I will always promote buy now and enjoy today.

Congrats and looking forward to some wrist shots!

Create an account and register on AP website under your profile, as suggested above.

Check regularly to make sure your seller didn’t put it back on his own account…

Have there been any reports of that happening? Someone selling and then putting it back on their own account?

They probably reached out to the customer directly, confirmed he sold it, then proceeded to blacklist him and refused his request to re-add it to his profile.

Good man. The little game of buying 5 pieces nobody wants before you can get the actual one you want is bonkers. You saved time money and frustration. Congrats!

Big congrats! Smart move and I did the same. I have the same exact reference. It’s such a stunner and love the silver dial.

100%. Not to mention you’re saving the self-respect of singing and dancing for a SA.

I've gone Grey for the last 15 years. You pay more but they also pay more for trade ins. I call it pay to play and I pay for the convenience of getting it now and consider it a usage fee. I have no time for AD games.
