Tudor GMT & 58 waitlists

After much deliberation I am considering getting a Tudor GMT or a BB 58. Anyone else planning to get one and have you heard of there being any waitlists. One AD asked me for a 20% if I wanted one... only problem is without seeing them both in the metal I can’t decide and don’t fancy putting down 2 deposits.

Eager to hear your thoughts. Thanks watchfam!

20% Down on one to veiw two is ok if you pick the watch you like, and if you dont like money back does not seem bad . I like the look of them id make sure i had both pockets full just in case .

Difficult for me to see the need to put money down on a Tudor

i agree to an extent. i know the special edition dealer ones (e.g. harrolds and bucherer) are selling above MSRP.

do you think the initial demand will sub-side? i forget if the heritage chronos were a popular watch when introduced. i still most black bays still available and sold at a discount pre-owned.

My AD has only two on the Waitlist for the GMT Tudor. Not even taking names for the Rolex Pepsi or BLNR.

Waitlists? Simply heard "Will call when they come in". Don't fan non-existing flames please.

The best part about Steinhart watches that if you email the add [email protected] about stuff like defective watches, waiting time for restocks or new releases, the Owner, CEO, and President, Mr Gunter Steinhart would personally reply to your inquiries.That tells me a lot about his personality and the kind of gentleman he really is. Here's an example

In London I expect so. If you can get in at a small town you might get first dibs. Don't think the locals only rule applies to Tudor... yet...

I don’t understand the waitlist talk for Tudor. There’s never been a shortage of any Tudor. Why do you think it would start now?

Little bit of a difference between a short run discontinued watch and a new release.

I told my AD I need the GMT to which he said “and so you shall have it”.

Won’t get overly eager. May let the first few go until I can get a discount. And now that there are 3 options on how to buy the watch (leather, strap or bracelet) it I am not sure what Tudor will release the stock. And not sure what one I even want. Said the leather initially, but may go bracelet if I like the rivet bracelet.

I contacted my AD who stocks Tudor and I am 5th in line for the GMT and 1st for the 58.
The 58 would possibly be my first choice. The reason for that, is not only does it mark the 60th anniversary of the original (I believe) Tudor dive watch. But also my 60th year on this planet :-)

When they're routinely available, I'll consider one. Until then, no deposit, no markup above retail, perhaps a 15% discount.
