Searching for my first AP

[mmyer14]

Looking to purchase my first AP and of course I am very interested in the 15400 blue dial. I visited the AP boutique in NYC this weekend and was shocked at how empty the cases were, but they had received a gray dial 15400 that I was able to look at. Someone had put a deposit on the watch an hour before I arrived, which was probably lucky as I may have walked out with the gray dial when I really want the blue. They did have a nice blue Jumbo, it was a demo watch and not for sale.

My question is, are people still seeing insane waiting times for the blue dial 15400. Is it even worth the hunt at this point? Are the white and gray dial 15400 pretty easy to find, or was it just luck I stumbled upon one.

Any guidance is appreciated
