Finally got my FXD!

Well, the day finally came. I finally got the call for a Tudor Pelagos FXD! It feels great and looks amazing! I won’t be taking it off for awhile.

Nice! I’m a little upset about the new smaller Black Bay, but it’s plainer than my 58…..

These are under retail now. So why not just go grey and get one on the cheap . Save yourself a few quid as well

Every single Tudor model is under retail now . And will remain that way for a good while I assume .

Walter what is your basis for making this statement? What markets and what geographies are you referring to?
Clearly this is a false statement and kind of offensive to many Tudor aficionados (myself included) around the world, so I am kind of at a loss as to why you would even say this?
Can you name some ADs with the latest 2023 Black Bay models under retail? Half a dozen or so would suffice. I doubt it. In many markets they are actually not even available at the moment.

I’ve never seen a brand new, unworn, with stickers and my name on the paperwork for under retail. I also value the relationship I’ve built with my SA/AD as I get some pretty good preferential treatment so I’m not going to mess that up.

Agree. If you asked for a discount at my AD in Vail they’d say something nice but you wouldn’t get it on any Tudor.
You could get parking validated though.

Congrats. It’s a great watch.

If anyone else is looking for FXD, I got a call last week for one and turned it down since I already have one. Let me know and I’ll connect you with the SA. Local to SoCal but they may ship doesn’t hurt to try. I am not affiliated nor do I get anything out of it. You buy under your name and directly from the AD. Just helping out those who are waiting

I’m glad you did. No AD would even put me on the list for an FXD which I found pretty offensive to be honest. Soured me on the watch, which I love.

I worried about forum etiquette when contemplating this thread. Sad considering just a few years back it would’ve possibly turned into an interesting conversation about features or fitment. Now it seems people only want to tear others down who didn’t get as good a “deal” as them. This hobby isn’t about the money! It’s about the experience and the fun you can have with it. If you can’t understand that, you don’t belong here!
