BA don't have any on order with Boeing directly - they're coming via a lessor. During the Farnborough Airshow this year it was announced BA were getting three more 77Ws on the same day it was announced Novus Aviation Capital had signed a commitment for 'up to four'. As of the end of October none of these planes have appeared on Boeing's monthly orders & deliveries sheets. There have been no confirmed orders from anyone for the 77W since Farnborough.
Now - are BA getting their planes from Novus? If not, then they'll all be second hand. Even if they are coming via Novus the order hasn't been finalised yet. I know it's nearing the end of the production line and there were a few slots left to fill before Boeing moved fully onto the 777X but getting the planes by 2020 is pushing it a bit if they're not in the production schedule already.
