Can't wait another year or two.....

My AD recently got me a Sub Bluesy a couple of months ago. I have been waiting for a Pepsi for 6 months already. I asked my AD the other day how much longer based on the waiting list and inventory and he said one to two years. I can't wait that long. Decided to go with a grey trusted dealer on TRF. Going to pay more but at least I will be happy!

Yeah, one to two years is crazy to wait for a watch. I suspect that wait times will improve next year, however.

Good for you.
“Time” is the one thing you can never buy more of. The older you get the more you value your own personal time.
I absolutely wont wait years for a luxury watch. In my value system that isn’t “luxury”.

It’s the one watch I’d have no problem paying grey for. I have many premium pieces and that one is still my daily.
