This is the only Tudor that has even interested me (so far) because of its superficial resemblance to the 16610LV. Traveling into London to order one and subsequently collect it was not a huge problem, but a good excuse for not spending money. That just changed.

I would love to get a BB

But I just can’t do it until they put the T-Fit on it - I just have to have it.

Seemingly such a simple thing to do.

Also - I think Tudor deserves its own forum section

These are my thoughts.

Same. I ordered one with delivery to the US. It says it is currently in the "packaging" status. We shall see. It is odd its the only Tudor you can buy on the Harrods website. Are they bypassing all the people on the waiting list if so? I just hope I get mine and they discontinue it!

Sorry to disappoint, there is no waiting list

Harrods BB--Waiting Delivery

I saw the posts in this thread and decided to purchase a Harrods BB. I ordered the watch on 10/3 and I received an email that the watch is being shipped by FedEx and should arrive around 10/12 . For those who are wondering about tax, the watch was $3757 (US) the shipping $30 and the tax $234.81. Hope all my numbers are accurate. I'm guessing this number does not include any state tax. I'm excited to get the watch. Thanks to all the Forum members who brought this opportunity up by posting. Best regards, Bob

If you do the math, I believe the tax is the state sales tax. Custom duties are already in $3757. It worked for NJ and actually that’s what Apple Pay said when I paid.

I was in London last year, I was surprised when I went to Harrods and was able to buy it in the store, I though there was a wait list but apparently not.

If I understand correctly, these are just a Harrods exclusive, not a limited edition. So imagine as long as they sell, Tudor and Harrods will pump them out.

Yes, it's a special edition, not limited. Early on, it was speculated here that there would only be 999 as there was only room for 3 digits with that font size on the case back. Then Tudor just decreased the font size and went into the thousands. A lot of folks here got double-digit casebacks, I remember.

Hi, I'm new here and the Harrods was one of my more recent purchases. Love the watch, a bit bulky but I kind of like that as a contrast to my other watches. Was surprised to learn about the online ordering, wish they'd done that when I had to rush down to London post COVID!

Subscribed for update, for when you receive your watch. I really like this particular color of the BB and I actually have been on the waitlist.

I’m in the USA and my order shipped with a FedEx tracking. I didn’t think this would end up being real, so I am excited. I’ve wanted this piece but had no plans to ever be in London in the foreseeable future. Thanks for the heads up on availability.

Anyone on here put their Harrods BB on a leather or Nato strap (other than the one it comes with)?

I’m sure I’m missing something. But these BB are freely available all over the world and have been for long time. Is it that you can get them online? Is it cool from harrods? Fill me in.

Green dial is a Harrods exclusive. Until now, it has only been available in store. Not sure what the number sold thus far has.

I looked at this on-line and considered making a purchase. By the time you add in import duties and taxes I could just source it from a Trusted Seller for the same or less. It is cool that it comes from Harrod's but all of them do. I look forward to following the import of the watch from our member that made a purchase.

Congrats, it’s a really nice version of the Black Bay.

I’m curious about your number (1733). I believe that two years ago Harrod’s was selling models in the 5xxx range, and have since gone higher than 10,000 (IIRC). I wonder if there are others earlier in the serial range that they’ll be releasing?

Hah! You're dead right. It's #11733. So much for my reading comprehension!

Is the number mentioned anywhere on the papers or watch? I would be interested to see the contents of the watch.

The number is stamped on the case back. It's the production number of the watch, not the serial number. It's not mentioned anywhere in the paperwork.

The serial number is stamped on the back of the top right lug and is on the Tudor warranty card along with the model number (79230G) and the date of purchase, which is hand written in dd/mm/yy format.
