15500ST Silver from Boutique? (NYC)

[Vince_76]

Tried on a friend’s 15500 today and oh my… pictures and even seeing it one someone’s wrist is one thing - seeing it on your own is another. The finishing and the dial are in another class than my datejust. Always wanted to add a RO, and this sealed the deal.

I’m based in NYC, and am set on the 15500st in silver. I’ve seen varying experiences here about the prospects and time to get one from a boutique as a first time buyer (from less than a couple months to over a year). Now, I want this watch but am in no rush, and am fine waiting a year or even two.

Question is, how realistic is it to get this as a first time buyer, and what would you say would be the time frame? I’m going to go in the boutique and talk to an SA, but wanted to set my expectations.
