Hi guys How hard to get a Rolex Pepsi from A.d.your experience

[espanol]

Consensus is dealers only offer to their customers that spend the most at that AD.

[4reRlxGuy]

Unfortunately from what I've seen some ADs sell to flippers instead of their top clients.

[Michael1968]

I’m waiting almost 3 years, so I would say it’s hard.

[TimepieceRPP]

my case, I waited for nearly 3 years and it came before the blue skyD when I requested at the same time.

[PBJ1925]

Generally speaking along with the Panda Daytona, one of the two most difficult stainless to be allocated.

[joli160]

Very hard, near impossible for most

Very. All depends on your spend history.
Sadly if you have to ask, looks like you’ll struggle

[hojlund]

super.

Yeah I think it's certainly possible, just be prepared for a very long wait, especially as Rolex are now apparently starting to decrease production of them due to the dual-coloured bezel being a pain in the ass to get right. Apparently it's not an easy task to make the two bezel colours meet perfectly in a crsip edge without bleeding into each other.

What is your source that Rolex is decreasing Pepsi bezel production?

Depends on the customer and the AD. Mine took 15 months. It's impossible to predict how long it would take anyone else.

If I had to wait 3 years I’d be looking at what the trusted sellers on the forum have for sale

Like, Chuck Norris hard.

[WatchSeller56]

Depends on who you go and a trusted source

Generally speaking, one of the toughest to get from an AD. Having a well established relationship with an AD does help from my experience.

[sherrill]

If you are not a regular at your AD then it’s very difficult. If you are sure that you want it, and you can swing it, go grey. Quick and painless with a trusted seller. You can get them at a less painful price if you look hard enough at their listings and don’t hem and haw until that deal is gone.

[John Doyle]

it's hard indeed

[1William]

Difficult, if not impossible, unless you have a hook or a huge spend history.

[Calatrava r]

Without a long-term relationship, I would say zero.

[m3tek44]

so hard people still waiting years.

It's obviously nothing 'official' but I think it was discussed in this Youtube video (haven't got the specific time marker , sorry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMvukNuTiGI that the failure rate of the bezels is very high and production numbers may be decreasing.

[Ravager135]

I got mine three days after asking for one two years ago. I had bought two Rolex watches from this AD going back to 2016 and three or four IWCs over the past several years. I had never asked them for a Rolex other than a Datejust 36 for my wife which they sourced in under six weeks. The other Rolex was a 116610LV I bought out of the window in 2016.

When I asked, my salesman told me to standby. He seemed to know one was coming in and straight up pushed me to the top of the list.

That same AD and same salesman have had me waiting two or three months now for a blue dial Yacht-Master 40mm. I am not angry in the least. A lot of it is pure luck and who is ahead of you.

[ArtNouveau]

I think I got kind of lucky with my BLRO. When it was announced in March of 2018, each of the six SA’s at my Boutique got to choose two clients for the preliminary list and I was one of them. I had known my SA for a long time through several previous stores and I think it was a bit of courtesy for our long relationship.
They got their first BLRO in June of that year, I got their 12th in December, six months later. I have no idea how high demand there is currently but I doubt if it’s ever the first watch offered to any new customer.

[Mystro]

The BLRO is harder to get than a LVc or BLNR but not anywhere near the tier one level of the SS Daytona. The secondary market is where you go if the BLRO/Pepsi is calling to you. The Pepsi on Jubilee is more common as it was out longer than the BLRO on oyster. That said the jubilee is pulling about $500 more $$ over the oyster on the secondary market.

At the current time a pristine BLRO example is going to be in the neighborhood of $20k but…..:there are some going for in the $18k range that were worn hard and then repolished deeply to remove the rough wear marks. Condition is everything at this stage of the market.

OK
Since someone made a video on youtube I now believe it.
I think my AD made the most honest answer on this one…..no one knows until Watches and Wonders next year.
