How often do you think smaller ADs get BLROs

Yeah that's what this AD is sort of indicating to me.

My local AD is very small. Seems like they get a new shipment every 4-6 weeks. Generally they get 1-2 decent watches per shipment such as an OP or SS DJ36 or OF Daytona. They claim to not have a list but not sure how much I believe that. To my knowledge it has been a year since they received an SS Sub. My guess is smaller ADs would get 1 BLRO and BLNR a year. As of late the new watches have only consisted of gold Day-Dates and TT DJs

Don’t believe the hype (lies). No sub in the past year, but they’re getting TT and PM. No way, not possible.

10 blue SkyD per year? Highly doubt. Agreed that the numbers are slightly higher, but not by a 10 factor

Got BLNR as a part of bundled deal from an AD in March of this year. AD represented that BLRO would also be delivered within 6-7 months. So far the AD's position is that he hasn't received a single BLRO since March...that was a needle scratch moment but didn't want to get into an intramural fight over it.

When I got mine, my AD told me that he got 3 total in 2019.

Reading between the lines that is AD talk for "spend more money" . Sucks, but its either wait indefinitely or...spend more money (whether it be grey or via an AD).

My AD gets as many BLROs as Daytonas. Huge volume AD as well.

Talked about this with a small AD (city w <1M population) that I have gotten to know fairly well - annual numbers:

BLNR/BLRO: 10-12 of each, no difference between Pepsi and Batgirl in supply but there is a difference in demand (both high but Pepsi higher), making it tougher to obtain Pepsi

Green Sub: 4ish (was the case with Hulk - says this allocation has not changed w new green Sub release)

Daytona: I forget the numbers

Skydweller: I did not ask

Don't need to read between the lines...I've been playing the game so I don't want to be oracle of outrage

I got my BLRO from a smaller AD in October. They said it would probably be the last on they see in 2020. Knowing that, I would guess they get 2-4 per year.

No kidding, and that number has likely grown, closures in certain areas notwithstanding.

I had guessed approximately 1,000. Not a lot of anything to go round this many ADs.

The larger Ad by me apparently gets 2-4 / month.

[RealMadrid1988]

A larger AD in NYC (but not the boutique/Wempe/Tourneau) told me they got 2 per year.

Probably a play on words. Meaning the Sales Rep gets 2 to allocate per year. Anything in Manhattan has to get more.
