bundling for 126710BLNR?

[maruchan22]

Pardon me my ignorance but generally what is the currently bundling package for a 126710BLNR? I want to see if I can bundle with IWC, GS, and JLC.

It will be different per AD and different per region.

There is no general “bundling package”. Each scenario is different.
Best speak to your AD and see what they agree to (or not)

It's about time we all stopped playing these so Called AD games that's the only way we can get back to normal AD sales

“Bundle” 20k-25k and buy one from a secondary dealer right now…

OR

Express interest at Rolex AD, spend (likely) 20k-25k on miscellaneous qualifying purchases, then, finally, wait…

going to be a lot of anecdotal answers.. will come down to your relationship with your AD and SA and how creative you guys want to get. Generally, I'd assume buying a couple pieces from those brands you mentioned should do the trick. Good Luck!

There are a lot of variables at play and it is probably best to talk to your dealer. For example, we do not know what your AD nets on selling those items and if they want to net a certain amount for each BLRO they sell. For that matter, if the JLC, GS, or IWC watches you are looking at generally are already faster moving stock AND they are difficult for the AD to replenish, this is far less incentive for them to move forward with such a transaction because they will sell those items anyway and they can use that BLRO for a customer who is purchasing something that is easy to replenish and relatively harder to move. There are just so many factors at play.

Definite “no”

probably requires 100k in previous purchases at this point

thank you - that makes perfect sense.

My AD got me another steel Pepsi recently on the condition that I took the white gold version that someone had failed to collect

I don’t do bundling.AD can stick bundling where the sun don’t shine.

It depends on your AD but also your SA. SA’s don’t get as much credit as they should. SA’s are the ones who make s**t happen.

I have purchased 4 watches from my AD so far (2 omegas, 2 Rolex) and will get a Pepsi next. I didn’t start a relationship by bundling…I bought watches I wanted to buy regardless, I didn’t buy them to get a Pepsi. After picking up my most recent Rolex for my wife, I told my SA I want to get a BLRO next and he said no problem. My SA has come through so far with the other two Rolex and have no reason to doubt that he will come through again with a Pepsi.

Honestly, your chances are best by finding an AD and a SA that you genuinely like and can build a friendship with them. All things seem to fall into place after that, and it should end up working out. I’m in NYC and can tell you the temper tantrums they have to deal with on a daily basis because I have seen them firsthand so believe me if they like you, they definitely want to see pieces going to you. Others may disagree but it’s true.

Granted there are horrendous AD’s out there so there definitely needs to be a bit of luck here as well

PS- I know you’re not asking about a Pepsi but a BLNR is in that same family (probably a bit easier to get to be honest) so hopefully this post helps you a little.

If you don’t want to “play the game” or put in the effort, just go grey and save yourself the headache and the dent in your wallet. There is no other way to do it in 2022.

You can also visit various AD’s and maybe you’ll get lucky with a BLNR as your first piece. Not likely- but it does happen.

Thanks. I have just been told by few others that HK is a different game. The ADs are corrupted and sold the rolex to dealers and VIP only. No chance for walk-in.

Completely agree with Padi here.
It's all become rather silly.

There is no bundling necessity at my AD. If there was I would either be using another AD, going grey or not buying Rolex. There may come a point either globally or more likely in a local/regional market where Rolex ADs no longer consider me an eligible customer. Happily for me, I'm not in such a market (this week).

Your AD will tell you what's what if ask them. From then on it's up to you to decide what to do, based on the information you receive.

It seem like in HK, I need to have purchase history just to be offered a bundle package

Go gray unless there’s stuff you really love in the bundle, ,
