Good sir, I implore you - would you consider bundling the purchase of a datejust with a concurrent purchase of the GMT BLRO?”

This is most spectacular.

I would tell your AD you are considering the DJ but would definitely buy if it was bundled with a Pepsi. Don't sound entitled, just state the facts. With your history, this is a reasonable offer.

This is very reasonable. For the AD, it's the opportunity to not just make a high-dollar sale to a long-term customer but to also solidify that relationship (and ensuing sales) for many years or even decades to come. Allocating one of these very limited watches to the OP is arguably a very reasonable business decision for this dealer.

I would never buy a single thing that I did not want .period

If your AD has empty cases to show, he won’t probably give u the pepsi.
But who knows, you might get lucky.
I say step up a little & buy diamond MOP DJ, that’ll bump your chances quite a lot.

40k spend this year so far, maybe
40k total spend over several years, that’s not strong history and you need (in general) strong history to get a Pepsi

40k over a period of 3-4 months

No harm in giving it a try - bundling worked for my wife and I, and we had zero history - and the TT DJ she wanted was a pretty basic piece, no diamonds.

Don't ask, don't get.

Here's my advice...don't bundle!! Find an AD that has some class and work with them, I know they can be hard to find but once you do it will be totally worth your while!

The last SS Pepsi at my AD (I've been on the list for years now...) was sold/allocated/presented to a whale who already had a WG Pepsi and very likely has enough watches to get well into the 6 digit realm. Not the 6 digit model, the 6 digits of dollars. US dollars, not those Canadian Loonies.

My other local AD (from whom I have bought zero lately) told me that my chances of a Daytona were non-existent, and those go to customers who routinely purchase $100K of jewelry. I took that to mean on an annual basis.

That said, it costs you exactly nothing to try. Assuming, of course, that you really want that DJ and would have bought it anyway.

Exactly. If you want the DJ regardless, there's no harm in trying.

Yes please!

I've just been presented with a ladies datejust. The thing is, if I buy this datejust, I want to see it bundled with a Pepsi. I've already brought several other watches, and have about a 40k+ spend history, but I don't want to just keep buying watches for the 'someday I'll get a call' watch.

With this being said, is there a polite way of saying I'll buy this ladies DJ provided it's bundled with a Pepsi or other hard to get watch?

That’s much better than what I was thinking ! Which was:

“That sounds like extortion to me, you can pound sand ! I would rather pay grey prices than be a victim, and further enable such practices !”

Then I would return in a few days when my new watch arrived to show it off.

YMMV

This might work
