Poll: Have you seen/know of a Pepsi delivered in the last year?

[Ferrari-F430]

Posting this as a pure curiosity and to see what's actually real vs Legend.. Since July 1, 2023 (approx) till now, have you Received a Pepsi Rolex (126710BLRO) at an AD, seen a Pepsi Rolex delivered from an AD, or personally know of a Rolex delivered from an AD in your area (confirmed/verified)? If so, what country are you from? Does this vary by where the AD is?

I spoke with a rep at my AD yesterday, and they advised that they haven't seen a 126710BLRO in about a year! Doesn't seem possible! But then again, this person working the counter didn't seem like a ball of fire and wasn't all that personable.. and seemed to be bothered just to talk with me (no this is not my normal salesperson).

Yet when I get on here, it seems like there are plenty of Pepsi's being delivered! Just no to me personally or anyone I know (LOL)! Or am I just seeing this whole thing wrong?

I'd love to hear YOUR real feedback based on what your AD has told you, what YOU have personally seen (and not just by what you've seen on the forums because people are getting them here). I know they are scarce, but is it really ZERO? If this is the case, I give up! My AD didn't know anything of the Bezels being broke or hard to make. This is my dream watch to buy from an AD.... and I might actually break down in the store if I'm ever given the chance to get one (I say this only because it would mean so much to me personally and I doubt now I'll ever get one). I don't intend to ever go grey market, I intend to buy new and keep forever.. would ruin it if I didn't get it the right way.

A few incomings the last week here.

[Max7857]

I received mine March 2024. My AD mentioned that they received 2 in the shipment that mine came in plus they had one in the exhibition case. I waited approximately 8 months for mine.

[shaunylw]

I would say unless they are a very small Ad they are getting BLROs.

WOW. I'm at 18 months for just about any GMT.

[Daytonaman799]

Yes….someone in my office got one from WoS in the last 12 months and a buddy of mine got one from Wempe.

[4reRlxGuy]

All I do know know is that 3 local grey dealers get Pepsi(s) with sale dates within 1-2 weeks of when they post for sale.

This occurs every month without a hiccup.

[4reRlxGuy]

There are ADs that will bundle out there. The situation has to make sense though.

I do know around the peak around 2022 of a Pepsi being bundled with a 3ct ring.

[Bazil]

They are out there .. honestly ..

[omar-rye]

Rolex generated over $11 billion in 2023. The rumor that they are having issues with the red and blue color bezels is as laughable as the conspiracy that the Earth is flat. With $11 billion in sales, you can bet they’re shipping out high demand pieces like Taylor Swift concert tickets.

[ArtNouveau]

I got mine over five years ago but around Christmas time last year my SA mentioned they were still getting their expected allocations even when others here were claiming they were not coming in.
Any Rolex AD in good standing is still getting them.

[1259]

I do not have one, but I highly doubt ADs are only getting a few per year. Maybe more like a few per month.

[brucethemanlee]

Of course they're coming into ADs. i know of 3 people in last 12-18 months

I got mine in 2018

[JRolexGuru]

I have not received one, however, I visited an AD in Denver earlier this month when a client was being given [purchased] his. He and I shared a brief conversation where we communicated that he had purchased several pieces from this boutique over a span of several years.

[Ferrari-F430]

Thank you everyone for the responses so far, I greatly appreciate it. My AD was absolutely trying to convince me I'd never see one based on what they were saying (that Rolex is not producing them in any numbers right now).

This is my dream watch and I'm not giving up! Getting this watch from an AD, brand new, will be a miracle and huge moment I hope I get to have.

Depending on how much you have spent, the answer could be never coming or it’s on its way. That’s a pretty key part to this. If you have a pretty long history with the AD or a fair spend, get a timeline from them. If not, maybe keep an eye on grey prices and get one.

man just go grey and be happy it's only money and life is short

[1William]

I don't even ask anymore on most watches that are in demand and hard to get. What are they going to tell you? We get four a month, every month but you will not get one as you don't have the spend total or we don't like you or you are insignificant to us? Or worse. If you want the watch then find a good example from a Trusted Seller and get your best price and buy the watch. Market value is market value and you are really just hung up on the price. It is a lot of money either through an AD or a Trusted Seller but many hide behind the "I only buy from AD's" as a way of a saying I either don't have the funds or I want a huge equity stake from the get go of ownership. Nothing wrong with that but you better be that guy to get one through an AD. Good luck, you are going to need it.

Best of luck OP, it’s worth the effort.

Got mine in October after about a 9 month wait. I have to say that this was the hardest one to get as it was during peak ‘discontinued’ rumor period.

[Djoker48]

There are 122 2024 Pepsis on C24, and it's only been 6 momths. For contect, there are 120-130 Pepsis dated 2021, 2022 and 2023 for the whole year. At this pace, the number of 2024 Pepsis will outpace all previous years

It’s always in the car where photos seem the best.

I'm in a mid sized market and received my Pepsi on jubilee in May after 14 month wait. I had purchased a Datejust and WG Daytona from the same AD in the last two years, plus a good amount of jewelry for the wife over the last 5-10 years.

For context, I attend the local watch club events they facilitate every few months and have gotten to know the staff pretty well. I think that helps when it comes to who is allocated lower production pieces. I was told they normally get 4 Pepsis per year, but it was only 2 in 2023 and likely only 1-2 this year. Again, this isn't LA or NY, where I'm sure pieces are coming in monthly.

[APPRF]

Just wait until the Pepsi batch starts rolling out from Rolex factory if it didn't already do. That doesn't mean you will get one soon though, it all depends on your geographic location, your AD relationship and demand in your area.

After W&W 2024 Pepsis 2024 started popping up because hoarders and grey realised it won't be discontinued, and ADs starting distributing their held up stock to preferred clients again.

[scotttampa]

That's my holy grail.

[liberalclown]

I know 2 people received theirs during 2023 holiday season and one in june 2024in NYC.

[johnsonsxusfrt]

I just wired payment for mine, picking up this week after ~2 year wait. But I had to really call my AD on the carpet for this given my purchase history. They finally came through but I still feel many of these ADs, including mine, have been playing games with these pieces that are getting premiums on the secondary market.

[sambb]

seen several sold in last year, often the SA never gets to see them - sold by manager or higher ups to certain clients. I bet many sold through back channels or bundles or to grays. I dont think it is hard to get one if you bundle.

Good info! Thanks!
