126710BLRO GMT Pepsi Australian AD

Hi guys,

has anyone spoken with an AD here in Australia re. the 126710BLRO? Thinking I might have to make the leap from the 16750 into the present, but curious about how long the wait will be?

Cheers, Nicholas

I think unless you have previously purchased from that AD, you can forget about getting on the waiting list.

I got a couple of friends who had their name on the waiting list and they were told they would probably get it by the end of next year. They are previous customers to the AD. Those who are going to get it this year would probably be the VIP customers

Considering the waiting list for a SS Sky Dweller is still 2years.. I hazard a guess that your GMT wont seethe light of dat for at least 3-5yrs

I was inquiring about another watch at a Sydney AD when the salesperson mentioned that the demand for the Pepsi is completely insane. I would expect a long, long wait if you could even get on the list.

They will likely pop up at the Oz grey dealers pretty soon after the release so if you really want one you can just pay up and have it straight away. Put your name on a 'list' and once you get the call, buy it at msrp and on-sell. Net effect is you pretty much get the watch straight away at close to retail.

Forget buying in Sydney or any Australian AD. Go overseas and pick one up whilst you give yourself a little 1 week holiday.

Buy a platinum DD40 and white gold daytona from an AD then you’ll get priority treatment and only have to wait 3 or 4 years for one.
