So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

I stopped in at the Tourneau in the Roosevelt Field Mall today (Long Island, NY) to inquire about the new SS GMT Pepsi. I was told that they’ve only had one delivery with none scheduled in the future. They asked if I wanted to be placed on the list; I said sure.
With a straight-face, they told me that at the current rate it’ll take about 6 years!

Turdneau in Roosevelt is a joke.

Far from it - bunch of lies! My AD here in Montreal called me the first time they had one and I passed on it cause I’m content with my BLNR and instead told him to get me on a list for the white dial DayC.

My sister in law’s brother asked me for the SS BLRO not long ago and my AD quoted me mid-2019.

I find it hard to believe that Montreal would have them easier than NYC! I get supply / demand but our demand is no where close to US.

That’s really ridiculous! What the point of teasing people by producing a product that’s not available?!!!

The "list" is never really honored. VIP or Big spenders could have no interest in the watch, dealers would offer them the watch anyway. Even that he/she turned it down once, dealer would offer again. Just ask Dr. Tom.

I am first on the list and still have not received it. I am starting to wonder if that happened.
