Absolutely, time is money and life is short.
Enjoy

Perfect timing to buy one now since the market has gone soft. i hope the trusted seller is not the one with feb price still

[rambo99]

the pepsi grey price has dropped quite a lot the past few months, good time to go grey now, life is short!
an unworn pepsi jubilee should be around $20,000. it was high as $30,000 back in March.

congrats mate! It is a good time to buy grey. Prices are down and I can see some very good black friday deals (in the UK).

[fishingbear]

It’s a fantastic reference, congratulations!

And look, at some point we’ve all thought about cutting to the chase and paying for it. Like using the valet. Sure you can drive around blocks and wait and such, but nah. We have money.

And most would not admit it, but, we’ve all thought about it. Besides, all that chitchat, dinners, what to gift the AD, nice shoes, blah blah. Who needs it.

[Bladeshot]

Good on ya! Congrats OP.

You will have a couple years of enjoyment that you would otherwise forego.




Just another WIS who loves to trade.

+1 for this post. Went gray today, while waiting for my dream GMT to come in. Starting to lose hope that the wait time will be less than a year….

You’ve summed it up perfectly.

AD in Paris told me 5 to 7 years for a BLNR w Jubilee bracelet. Who knows?!

[thesharkfactor]

Getting it from an AD is a gift, I don't expect to receive gifts from anyone.

Life is too short, if you want it now go get it.

[Hollie_Rollie]

Congratulations!

Yes, happiness is all that matters, even if you have to pay more.

Don’t let him fool you … he’s an old fart like the rest of us

[Rolexatlast]

As long as you don’t mind losing money, go for it

[Philadelphialawyer1]

good advice
Im disgusted with trying to give money to AD and act like its a favor to accept it.

[Colnick]

Congrats, nice watch. No need to justify your purchase decision, buying from AD or strategically from grey are common practices.

If it’s about watches I say wait. Sorry for any confusion but I was neck high with a bottle of Green label JW yesterday.

Life is too short for “wait lists” and childish games.

Enjoy your Pepsi,

BLRO is arguably the best all-round Rolex out there. I’m just not a fan of paying over retail for one. Resellers and grey dealers tainted what was an amazing hobby just a few short years ago. Good for everyone who made a buck though.

As much as I love it, It’s now similar to the art world, which I also love, but is another cluster of an industry.

My two cents. Do what you will. Congrats either way
