I believe Travis is picking one up today. He is in the Tampa, FL area.

Jimbogigolo · 23 June 2018, 12:54 AM

my AD got one in yesterday, I got the call and picked it up last night.

marc12 · 23 June 2018, 01:07 AM

My AD got me blue SD in around 6 months and I called about it in September, showed up in March.
Called about Pepsi right away and they are optimistic this month or July the latest. It was my first purchase from them.

Did you buy it?

You ARE being sarcastic yes ?

ArtNouveau · 23 June 2018, 01:46 AM

Followed up with my guy yesterday. No more since the first one but it's only been a couple of weeks.

ashbaug2 · 23 June 2018, 01:56 AM

My AD said he doesn't expect any in until October, if it's the same as the last couple of years. The didn't see a SD43 until November last year. They are a small AD. The manager I have dealt with in the past told me he is confident he can get me one by Summer 2019.

I'm not a VIP with them, but I've spent some money on jewelry with them in the past, so I'm on the list. I was told I'm 4th on the list at that store (even though I was the first to call when it was released...), 15th overall in the chain. Not sure how they distribute between stores.

Dear Colin, please see post #15. Thanks so much for your helpful comment

KBM · 23 June 2018, 04:01 AM

They're trickling in. A good friend has received his, buy no word on when the next will be delivered.

You realize this is a watch forum, right?

yxc145 · 23 June 2018, 04:29 AM

my AD called and offered me the 1st spot. I put a small deposit down. I certainly hope he doesn't give it to some VIP that spends big $$. They just got the 1st full gold root beer this week.

They will,Money talks my Friend.

Agreed. I offered to put 100% down at my AD and the manager said he would love to, but would be calling me the next day to refund me so that a VIP could get the watch first. It is what it is...

ashbaug2 · 23 June 2018, 05:14 AM

Meanwhile, while we are all waiting for one through the AD, a member here is selling one for $23,499....

I think if I was going to spend that kind of money, I would pay $26,600 for a used WG BLRO... Maybe that's just me.

dysert · 23 June 2018, 05:39 AM

I thought I was number one at my Dallas AD when upon questioning realized I was actually number two for him, someone who knew a long time in advance is the first one, then to be told there are 4 salesman each with their own lists; resulting in who knows in what order I will actually get one. Have the email from him that says by September but don’t see how that will happen. Based on my original impression of being first without the other now apparent variables, I missed the window to get on lists at other locations in the area by trying to support my local AD. Problem is I live in the Park Cities and my AD is at ground zero for a lot of the wealth in the DFW area so they have a lot of big spenders and I am not in their league. I guess like the rest of you I will try hard to live with the uncertainties attempt to be patient while others bask in the glory of their conquests.

Assume you're referring to DeBoulle? I think that is unfortunately just the way it goes usually. Each salesperson has their list...and even when you are high on it, if a big spender all the sudden shows interest then they may get the in demand watch in front of you.

Sprta · 23 June 2018, 08:11 AM

My AD got one in yesterday but it was spoken for. They are beginning to arrive.

Nikrnic · 23 June 2018, 09:12 AM

Their coming, Their coming... very slowly...

Harsh. I assume if you don't get the BLRO that deposit can be used against purchase of something else, right? Enjoy your eventual BLNR, they are very beautiful.

onethirtypanda · 23 June 2018, 10:05 AM

I was taking to my AD today and she said she got one, along with a hulk and some skyDs. All of them paid and spoken for. She said they were very surprised by the shipment.

Hoping you get this watch soon!! The pics don’t do it justice in my opinion.

Went by one of the local AD branches to kill some time today, and the salesperson told me they received two SS BLRO (among three stores) and both sold this morning.

I was also able to see a TT GMT root beer that was sold as well. Didn't touch it or try it on as I don't like to mess with watches that are sold.

Pretty sure that’s my AD. The big dogs get there’s first. Hopefully I won’t be too far down the road. Which one were you in? Main San Marco store?

I am not in any hurry to get this watch, so I let my AD know I would like to have one next year. The AD has been very good to me and has sold me some of the hard to get models. I do feel when a new watch is available the ADs satisfy their best customers first. Thats why the Batmans and Hulks are more available now to the non big spenders.
Let the initial BLRO allocations play out and get on the list for a more reasonable time frame. Let them know you are willing to wait. I am confident that they will have one for me next year.
