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

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.

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.

…it’s not even worth asking when someone makes such a ridiculous statement.

It’s because he’s a douche bag trying to piss on someone’s happy incoming post. I wouldn’t waste time and effort even acknowledging him.

OP - congrats on a great watch.

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.

He is not wrong
I am about to post new FXD for $3,900 which is close to $1000 savings vs buying from AD ( retail $4,100 + tax)
