Two calls in one week — incoming!
I’ve been on the “list” for a Bluesy for 5 years, and a Pepsi for 2 years. About a year ago, I caved and bought the Bluesy on the grey market. Last Thursday, my AD called me to tell me my Bluesy arrived and it’s ready for collection. I had to tell him that I wanted to pass on the Bluesy and instead I wanted to wait for the Pepsi. I thought for sure that passing on the allocation would blacklist me from ever getting anything else from this AD. Luckily, I was wrong—the AD called yesterday to tell me my Pepsi had arrived!

Very grateful to have both.

Pepsi's my goal too! Especially in the Jubilee. Been waiting for 5 months, have bought a bb58 and got a green OP41 after a month of expressing interest. Hopefully I'll be able to get my allocation sometime in the next 12-24 months

Dang, your market must have been really tough to wait 5 years for a Bluesy. Glad they finally came through for you, congrats!

I agree, I went through 3 tries with the bluesy, each only had to wait around a month or so.

Congratulations. That's a great pairing of beautiful watches.

I was going to say that 5 years for the LB is a watch that the AD will never supply, but I would have been wrong. 2 years for a BLRO isn't bad.

That is definitely a long wait for the bluesy! Did you have to followup periodically or just let the AD do it’s thing?

Congrats on the beautiful BLRO!
