I am considering expressing interest. Torn between that the Ti YM :)
Good luck getting the Ti Yachtmaster, or a Falcon eye , or even a Slate face Yachtmaster, an AD managers recently told me they have been waiting for three years to get a 40mm Slate face YM in for a good customer. Also said they have yet to see a single Falcon eye or a Ti YM since release. The early YM were kind of fugly, now they have a quiet elegance both in looks and wrist feel. The YM is under-appreciated and it’s being repositioned to be as exclusive as the SS Daytona & the Pepsi GMT.

I highly doubt it.

To me that indicates that these are NOT easy watches to get at an AD. Those are huge premiums above their retail prices!.

Speaking of rarity, if you go on Chrono24, you’ll see there are 850 BLNR for sale, 700 Pepsis and 550 Sprites worldwide. That’s not that much at all considering the crazy demand for these models.
Most of these listings are for grey dealers who may have several for sale of each model. Some may have tens of each model for sale.
