Trying to get my dad a 126711

Is it relatively easy to get one now?

Looking for bnib at msrp but wondering if I am chasing a pipe dream

That should be easy enough. What's your timeline?

I don't think it's the easiest reference to get, but certainly not the toughest. Might be possible though, especially since things have eased up recently compared to a couple of years ago. Would it happen to be for your Dad's birthday, anniversary or a special milestone event? If so, I would hit the pavement, visit as many AD's as possible, tell them your timeline and what the occasion is for. Being a gift for your Dad I think might give you a little bit of a better chance. If you don't try, you definitely won't get! Give it a shot. Good luck!

Are these now going for under MSRP on the grey? If they are, I had no idea that was the case! I would definitely check that option out OP.

Thank you!

I guess steel pepsi would be near impossible. Grey might be the only options.

They are not selling under retail grey market. Especially BNIB. As mentioned above, Give a few AD's a try. Good luck

I’ve seen them at MSRP, never under, but they might be out there

Two tone easier than SS. Doable at AD, within a few months, I’d guess. If not, go grey. Should be a good price.
