Wow, late build. You weren’t tempted to wait for the 765LT being revealed in a few weeks?

It would seem there is quite a bit of incoming BLROs and Hulks lately

Certainly seems that way! I could only hope. My SA said they only expect about 4 or 5 this year though. That's what they got last year.

I'm still waiting but I only put in my request at the beginning of January.

giggle.

this is a myopic way to look at the watch market.

i have ever only seen one other pepsi 126710 in person; and that was at a grey. my customers have never seen one either so they’re interested in mine if they clock it.

TRF isn’t the best way to gauge volume of incomings outside the community here.


that said, it does seem like a few are dropping into new homes recently.

Did that not answer your question?

Every watch sold is sold.

How many people are buying these watches at 2X MSRP. It seems like NONE. Hope that clarifies things.

How can you know this?

It clarifies nothing to speculate about random bits of information.

Jay, I know you said you prefer not to say which AD, but DM me yours please.

If you feel like they are making it rain BLROs, count me in.

aside from my own and not counting watch collector get-together type stuff, I've only ever seen 2 out in the wild (but one of them was 45 minutes ago at lunch so who knows!)

I got mine in last month, from an AD in Houston. Asked to be placed on their list last February.

My theory as well.

Once Asia has stabilized, we'll see less incomings.

I think we are seeing what they were expecting to ship to the Chinese market, at least for now. It'll change soon enough.

As for how many I've seen in the wild: 1 and it was sitting front row at a Washington Capitals game.

No evidence to suggest an increase in production. They typically get distributed in batches. We often see a bunch of incomings of the same watch in a three or four week period and then it goes quiet again.

I’ve seen several in the wild. 5 that I can think of. More than I have seen explorers. They certainly aren’t rare.

I think a lot of the new Pepsi owners my self included. Are super excited to get one and they share it with the forum. When I got my sub I never posted the story about getting it like I did the Pepsi.

It seems like every six weeks I hear that the bubble is about to burst. While prices have calmed down a bit, they still are outrageously high.

Dealers are still holding them, banks are easing interest rate. It’s hard to get but not impossible , patience pays

I don't know. I've been waiting for a BLNR for well over a year now. I have a pretty good relationship with my AD and have a decent spending history there. He has told me outright that if he gets one he will call me. But he told me quite honestly that there are lots of people who go to them and have spent millions over the years and because he doesn’t own the shop, his boss tends to want to call them first. And of course they say yes because it’s basically the same as someone saying “Hey do you want $5000?”

And this is a BLNR, I can’t imagine how much harder it is to get a BLRO.

Yes, it's nothing special. Many are made every single year.
