Well not panic ...
My small town AD who treats me amazingly and to whom I am very loyal to hasn't seen a Pepsi in years. Rumor around this time last year was that it was going to get discontinued, and of course it didn't. Although there hasn't been much chatter here about it, I have no idea if it will get discontinued in a couple of weeks, so I just decided to bite the bullet and cut to to the chase by buying a complete 2024 unworn one grey. Not the way I usually do things but I didn't want to take the chance that they discontinue it and it doubles in price. I normally enjoy and lean in to the process and the wait for the watches I desire most, but I figure life is too short to sweat a Pepsi.
So this is more of a hedge I guess ... if I doesn't get discontinued my AD will eventually get me one and I'll sell this one, and if does get discontinued at least I'll have one at a pre-discontinuation price. It makes sense in my head.
