I wanted them both equally as much. Both very different. Still don’t know which one I like better

Yes

Both are difficult to get from AD without substantial purchase history, with white being more in demand and more difficult to procure

8 month wait WHITE
4 month wait BLACK

Base on my own "wait" experience White is harder.

Anecdotally, white seems to harder to get and that seems to play out in secondary market values too

However, as many have said, either watch is not easy to obtain. Not impossible, but certainly not easy

Could be now, even without being a VIP, there are ADs that treat some customers right as they see potential for lots of future sales, might sound weird, but I've seen it.

I would say that black is slightly easier to get, but both are supremely difficult to purchase at an AD without at least 100k spend.

Initially it seemed like black dials were easier to get around time of launch. Nowadays, I don't think either would be easier to acquire per se than the other.

If those were even remotely the wait times for most people we wouldn't even have this thread.
