Incoming - 58 Blue

Wasn’t planning on buying a watch today but walked into Harrods to have a look around while waiting for the Wife to finish work. They had one on display, tried it on, and within 5 min my cc was abused.

£2070 after staff discount, absolute bargain! Love the watch, looking forward to wearing it as my new every day watch. Strangely they have left ALL the stickers on for me

More pics to follow once I get it home, and tell the Wife what I did…

It's a fantastic piece. Handsome, rugged, and robust. Perfect shade of blue, too. My AD came through with one for me in January. Absolutely love it. Hope you thoroughly enjoy yours!

Thanks everyone, I honestly couldn’t say no with 25% discount!

I can’t say enough how different and better it feels on my wrist than my Black Bay Harrods, just so much more comfy. I’ll always love the Harrods watch but this is truly amazing, from the size to the blue just standing out beautifully.

Even the Wife likes it and didn’t castrate me…

Few extra pics now I’ve taken the stickers off and put it in its home

It’s such a great watch. Even as much attention as it gets, it’s still underrated for what it is. Less than $4,000 US for one of the best looking, most reasonably priced divers to come out in years. Congrats!

Nice collection bouncing along there.

Nice chrono to round off the collection.

Where’s the watch box from?

Luck chap with 25% off. You gonna spill the beans on how? Lol

Was thinking the same thing! Maybe a Zenith Chrono, but will see...

This is where I got the watch box from, highly recommended. I ordered a custom box, Burr Walnut, grey fabric but you can chose a different colour, and all in it was about £180.

My Wife works at Harrods and I have a Spouse discount card. 25% of Tudor, various discounts on other brands too. Usually only get it on watches that don't require a waitlist though. 20% off Rolex mind

It’s a good shout. My AD offered it to me last week but just couldn’t pull the trigger. I feel the lugs and bracelet integration looks off and a bit unfinished in design.

My go to chrono is a marmite piece Tag Heuer Monaco blue dial with 02 movement.

I’m gonna look up the watch box.

With your discount you’re at least gonna recoup a lot of your money if you sell.

Cartier Santos is a serious DJ contender too.

Excellent watch. 25 percent off is a steal. I think your wife is my long lost cousin....does that qualify for the family discount ? Lol.
