Sorry for the double post, but does anyone have intel about how common a bolide 31 in a neutral color would be in store? I’m planning on asking my SA tomorrow (I’m in NY) but debating on whether I should bite the bullet and get a black one that’s on fashionphile in excellent condition for 7k, which isn’t that much of a mark down. However, if it’s going to be an undefined wait time to wait for one to come in stock, I’m tempted to order one now.

Hi there! Bolides in neutral colors should not be too difficult to acquire in store in 31cm size. You should be able to get your preferred specs without a tremendous wait. That said, if you prefer to go preloved, you will likely find options that are priced more reasonably than 7K which seems high for preloved IMHO. Good luck and Happy shopping!:)

Hello everyone! I am very interested in getting a bolide 35 as it appears large enough to use for work purposes. However, I am also still waiting on my first quota bag and so wonder if I should go the reseller route for fear that potentially getting the bolide may set me back even longer for getting my first offer. I’m currently around 2:1 at the Madison store.

I haven’t seen that many options for bolide 35 online (I see 3 or 4 on fashionphile), and have no sense of how common the larger bolide is in store.

Anyways, appreciate any advice on the matter. Thank you!

I just saw one on fashionphile from 2017 - so they are around and from recent years, but this might be a special order?
