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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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! |
