Interesting that the results of the poll (so far) show that the majority already have their BLRO

One AD told me 70 people were on the list. Another AD told me they aren’t taking names because when one comes in, it arrives at the home office (AD of three), the manager calls each branch and asks who it would go to. They pull the purchase history and decide which of the three ADs customer will get it.
I got mine in August from none of the above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I was told at least two years waiting back in March, possibly three. They're getting two to three BLROs per quarter so about twelve a year. I have around thirty people before me. So 2019 if I'm lucky or 2020 otherwise.
The thing is I'm not sure I still want it though. I won't know for sure till the day I see it. |

Guys, Chinese economy is weak now and will worsen in next year. The demand for Rolex would likely dip. I believe the waiting time may be shorter than you expect, except for the Daytona.

economies are so interconnected i really dont think you can say one economy will worsen in isolation. China dips, so does the US and Europe. Then that also means less disposable income for watch buying so it may be more available in that situation but people also won't be in such a rush to buy either.

Yes indeed. This US and China trade war is giving a fatal blow to the Asian market now. It may just affect the entire market globally. I hope to stay prudent for awhile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Forget about the wait list myth. There are many backdoor or private sales.

I stopped by an AD yesterday and they told me there are more request for Pepsi’s than DayC’s. Wow
I am utterly surprised since the feedback originally was i hate the jubilee and its colors look weird. |

i prefer the BLRO personally but its new. I suspect the daytona will return back to normal as the most requested watch (if it hasn't already) soon.

Picked up my WG BLRO blue dial last week. I asked what if I’m interested in the SS Pepsi. They received 2 so far and the waiting list is just ridiculous. He however said he will keep me in mind. I did express my interest in the ever rose yachmaster, it has been sitting there for quite sometime. I think there was a hint we could work a deal on the SS blro or do best effort

Sorrrt for double post
BLRO is sold at ~$5k or plus premium. That is how much the waiting list is worth. If you combine your purchase another watch with that much net earning for the AD It will certainly make a case to short cut the whole waiting game. |

Without a great relationship I would plan for 2 years and hope for 1.

I waited less than 2 weeks for my BLRO, but it was bundled with the purchase of a DD40.

seems like a 1/3 of TRF community (at least those who participated in the poll) have received or expected to receive their BLRO by year's end.
I'm hoping and crossing fingers for mine by end of the year, i hope ;-) |

While I'm not a huge fan of the bundled purchase sales technique, as others have said at least they were both watches you wanted. Did they at least give you a discount on the DD40? Or did you have to purchase at full price? |

I don’t know how many AD’s there are in Armenia Jean but there may be one less soon.

Was in AD before Christmas looking at Rolex and discussing what my next piece would be. From a previous conversation my Sales Lady asked if I wanted to see a Pepsi. My first thought was she had a Pepsi and was going to offer it to me but when she returned is was just the watch....the owner's. It was sized way too small to actually try on but I did check it out. We discussed availability and she said they had only gotten 2 and said it was looking like only 1 maybe 2 a year. She also said they already had 7 on the list. She also commented they get a bunch more Daytona than Pepsi by a long shot.
