Spoke to an AD today, and she said it's been a long time since a BLRO has come in.

These ADs are just telling you that you won’t be getting any Pepsi that comes in in a way that lets you down easily and keeps you as a customer.

The Pepsis are just going to other customers.

Saying that Rolex, which has been making ceramic Pepsis for years, suddenly forgot the recipe is ludicrous.

Plus, 99.9% of the watch has the same exact specs of the other GMTs. Rolex does not appear to have forgotten how to build those. In fact, Rolex rolled out new ones. If there is actually any falloff in production, it’s because they are making additional versions of the GMT on the same production lines. It makes much more sense than Rolex suddenly not being able to make a red and blue bezel any longer.

Hearsay, hearsay, hearsay, conjecture, speculation. Only Rolex knows, and they don't divulge anything of the sort.

It could simply be that by now having to focus on producing an additional 2 bezels for the GMT line, that the more complicated BLRO bezel is not being given as much attention as before, and perhaps it is limited by that instead. I wouldn't expect the same output of even BLNRs with additional GMT models to produce.

I started a thread on this. Two of my ADs told me the same thing. Perhaps the production issue is hearsay but the limited delivery across ADs seems to be true.

They do know, they know at the start of the production year. However, they do not know when during the year they will receive them. They may also receive additional allocations to the specified yearly allocations. The latter is a lottery, however the former the AD's are definitely aware.

My AD told me that they get more Pepsis than Sprites… guess it is just a matter of what Rolex prioritize in production at a certain time
