The whole idea of a "list" is 99% BS most of the time, it's all about your relationship with the AD or salesperson. Be friendly, be knowledgeable, act like you're serious about buying, maybe even offer to leave a deposit, and you'll be at the top of the so called list.

I agree that most ADs give priority to repeat and loyal customers...at least that is the practice of our local Patek AD here in Manila.
This is especially true for sought after pieces like the 5711 A or in P or even a 5167 A.
Ps. The blue on both 5711 and 12 is the same...I have both and the 5712 has so many going on the dial that the dial color cannot stand out as a cleaner dial could.
