Got the 'call'!

Well worth the wait, even better in person than in photos. What a timeless design.

Congrats! Apparently these are as hard to come by as the Rolex counterpart wear in good health

No they’re nowhere near as hard to get as a Rolex Pepsi.
In the last few months I’ve seen several of these in AD windows.

Lovely watch but definitely not hard to get

While visiting Paris during early August, one was sitting in the Tudor booth of Galeries Lafayette department store for the entire duration of our visit (over a week.)

Thank you :)

In all honestly can't remember when I asked to be put on the list. Somewhere around 6 months + They're not coming in often, this AD had 70 on the list and they had two allocated this week, one had a minor speck of dust on dial so it's going back. How much of the list and scarcity is true, only they know, but I find it to be hands down one of the best modern designs available now in my opinion.

Went thinking I wasn't going to fall in love with it but I was wrong.

I’ve been waiting ages. Got
Offered one within about 6 weeks. Turned down early as literally just bought a sub used so timing bad. This was like March. On list with three ADs and zilch as yet
Since. Jealous. It’s a fabulous looking
Piece.

I've just spoken to my partner who reminded me that is has been over a year since I've been on the list. I would imagine that in London or other larger cities they may be easier to find at ADs if there is stronger demand for more expensive options like Rolex or AP, whereas outside the big centres there may be stronger demand for less expensive ones. Just a thought.

Nice thought but wrong. There’s a huge wait list for bracelet models in uk. You’ll be waiting months and months at best here. Occasionally might see a nato or leather in window but value prospect isn’t there when bracelet a fraction more.

Funny, the same thing happened to me when I went in to see it after receiving a call. I thought that I’d probably leave without buying the watch. Boy was I wrong. It’s super well made and is aesthetically very pleasing. Couldn’t help but pull the trigger.

Congrats and enjoy!

Here’s mine that I have yet to size

You're in Europe. Both the GMT and the BB58 have been much more available there than in North America. Seems like Tudor is focusing availability on that market.

I mean, it's still not at nearly the scarcity of the BLRO, but outside of Europe it still does very much count as "hard to get."
