BLRO is a very difficult watch to get and buying an Omega won’t get you there.

You’re stuck going to an AD as it will take you a long time and probably a lot of money playing the bundling game, something I personally wouldn’t do. In your particular case going grey might be a lot easier, cheaper in the long run and at least you’d enjoy the watch sooner rather than later. Or you wait and hope that prices soften further - you have 50% odds of that happening.

Pepsi - to bundle or not

I know it can vary by location, but I’d be shocked if a Speedy gets you a Pepsi. No where near enough leverage imo.

My gut says a Soeedy for a Sub LN seems
more reasonable.

Are standard issue steel Speedys really that much of a slow a seller? I didn’t think so.

I went gray.


If my AD every comes through, I'll flip the gray one, get most or all of my money back and then keep the newer one. BTW, I had Rolliworks brush out the PCLs on this one. Yeah, I have a lot into this watch, but if you know, you know. I love wearing it.

I love the brushed bracelet!

It’s a great idea in theory but in a declining market with price increases almost every year you might only get a few hundred back by the time you get the call.

I would recommend a new AD.

But you’ll have a brand new watch and a relationship with the AD

You’re not getting a Pepsi from any AD with just a speedy as your spend history.

Grey it is

A Speedmaster purchase will not get you a Pepsi from an UK AD.

Sorry.
