Incoming BLRO
I had the good fortune today of picking up a new Pepsi 126710 from my AD after only a two month wait. They were kind enough to pull a few strings for me as this will be a birthday present for my father who will turn 88 in March. I plan on giving it to him early the first week in February as my son will be in town visiting. I will post pics at that time.
The thing I found interesting was that although this watch just arrived into the store late last week the white hang tag still had the 2019 price of $9250. I jokingly asked if that meant I was avoiding the price increase but unfortunately no such luck. Still a great watch and I appreciate my AD making it possible for me to make this such a special birthday for my father. |

Congratulations! Good son and happy 88th to your dad!
I wouldn’t believe that the watch just came in though specially if the tag has the old price. Probably kept it in the vault. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What a gift for your Dad. He must be so proud of you and you of him. May he wears it in very good health. Can't wait to see it on his wrist.
PS: You got the watch in 2 months as I did late 2019 which proves that waiting list does not exist. It's all about those strings you mentioned above:-)
