Pepsi is harder to get than Batgirl?

Hi guys,

I have a friend who is working at Rolex AD. And he told me that they receiving more Batgirls than Rolex Pepsis. Any opinions about this?

BLRO seems to be more difficult to get than a BLNR from an AD.

But only as I cannot get a BLRO, still maybe next year or the year after.

Yes, check the market price and you will see it’s more expensive to buy a BLRO than BLNR from greys. This is related to the supply/demand I’d imagine.

LVs used to be hard to get at AD and expensive in grey, now relatively easy (compared to BLRO) and grey prices have come down...

It may vary depending where you are located, but in these parts the BLRO is more difficult to obtain.

It may also be that the BLRO cerachrom insert is harder to make, and thus a theory that Rolex produces fewer of them.

I think it is the case.

My friend recently had a BLNR offered to him and he traveled to go and collect it that evening...whilst he was buying his another customer was also picking theirs up also.

Recent incomings would suggest that the BLNRs are seeming like they’re in good supply

It seems right. I have seen a surplus of batgirls hitting market lately. My local gray has got 6 in the last 2 weeks but not one pepsi

Yes this is true if you’re looking to get the watch from an AD.

When I bought my BLRO my AD was really trying to get me to take the BLNR instead.

Pepsi is easy. Just throw 50˘ in the vending machine and push the button.

Batgirl takes effort. You have to take her out for dinner and drinks, get to know her friends, meet her parents, buy a ring... she's a lot more work.

Can we please stop calling the BLNR a childish name? It deserves better.

I have a great relationship, referred buyers to the store and have bought some other watches and jewellery that my wife liked and actually wanted.

To be honest I had resigned to accept the wait. I was shocked.

Ottawa’s tough. Only 1 AD, diplomats and MPs and the highest per capital income in Canada. Way more demand than supply.

Pepsi is definitely tough to acquire from an AD. So many factors come to play. Its definitely harder to get than the BLNR

Seems to be that way.

There have been a lot of "incoming" threads for the 126710 blnr lately.

You really want to be associated with below pic, being childish and give your watch a name ?

Gives me the shivers.
