Reality of bluesy availability.

I don’t understand why you would go through all of this and not just get it on the grey market and have the watch the next day…..There isn’t even much of a premium for the bluesy, if any….This sounds exhausting!!!! And there is no guarantee you’re getting anything at any AD.

I got one in 2020 between lockdowns, no purchase history, granted those were different times. These days it's exhibition only where I live. I'd go trusted grey, not much of a premium.

I have one from several years ago. I waited a few months, AD got it. Paid around MSRP. Now looking to move it, too glitzy for me. OP should go gray. Rolex is playing games, total turn off.

Are they still hard to get? I got the call a few months back but I changed my mind and declined.

I got a rootbeer in 21 a yachtmaster in 22 a bluesy and olive DD in 23 and a Daytona today with no prior spend. I think face to face is key. I get on well with my AD and go for a beer now and agajn. That helps i guess.

I thjnk the bluesy should be really essy. Mine took months. Most folks avoid two tone and gold.

I'm baffled by anyone saying they can just walk in and get a Bluesy now days, my AD's don't even have Datejusts or the less desirable models as walk-ins.

If you can get this as a walk-in from an AD, you're lucky...

It's a known fact, they are rare.
