I was lucky enough to have been offered the White first, after wearing it for a bit I requested the Black as well and said I’m in no rush so prepared to wait. Got the Black last month.

from what i have heard from a manager, both black and white arrive in relatively equal quantities. its not a delivery issue. the only difference is demand for white is higher, so that would make black easier to get assuming you get placed on a real 'list.'

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

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.

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

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.
