Black Bay 54 wait times?

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to buy a Black Bay 54 from the AD in the SF Bay Area and all of them have told me that they are waitlisted. I've spoken to Tourneau, Heller, Ch Premier and Davidson and Licht about it so far. Its only been a few weeks, but wondering what the wait times are like.

I have seen a few go through the case at my AD's. Just get on the phone and start calling. You will find one.

Wow, seems like I should book a vacation to the UK. I asked the sales reps at the ADs and none of them would give me an estimate of the wait time. Just seems like they don't get very many of them here.

I got one from a AD in a smaller city that I previously bought a Sub from in 2021. Waited 45 days. I just emailed them only. Shipped me the watch.

The AD’s in the city I’m in told me next year. Call around and I think you’ll find one.

I’ve seen some on here at retail.

Wait time for that should be as long as it takes them to walk in the back and get one.

As others have said, plenty in the UK. I’ve seen them in a few different cities for sale.

Well said. There's no such thing with Tudor despite whatever bs stories some ADs make up. If one doesn't currently have a certain reference, the next one does.
I can confirm plenty in Greece, as well.

I kind of feel this way too, but I've been to a few dealers in the area and none of them have BB 54 or Pelagos 39. They have pretty much every other model in stock. I've emailed all the dealers here and half of them ghosted me.

You boys need to get over to the UK. Seen both the P39 and BB54 in multiple AD’s. Both in Kent and Central London.

Things may differ from area to area / country to country. The dealer in my office building has (always had) a lot of stock which right now includes the new red 41 METAS on oyster, the 54, several 58s and a P39. Plus a GMT and a ceramic BB. I just went and tried on the new red 41 and I really love it.

Devon’s in Roseville, CA and Reno are both Tudor ADs. Give them a call.

There's one sitting at my AD in Omaha if you want to call them (at least it was there last week along with a full case of every other model Tudor makes). Gunderson's Jewelers (402) 935-6332.

Have had my name on the list at two Tudor boutiques in SoCal, one since April, the other since June. Got offered one on a rubber strap recently, but still waiting for a bracelet

I have been offered this watch twice in the last 3 months… from the same AD. It is obtainable.
