Special order Tudor models only!

Tudor seems to be the leader in special order models. Yes, in the boutique display cases are the really popular models. However, looking through their catalog one can find a wide variety of models for order with a long lead time. Tudor provides a wide assortment of feature options. I believe this is part of their business plan.

If you have a special order Tudor let’s see it. Mine is on the way.

Woah. Does it come with the ETA 2824-2 since it has “Rotor self-winding” smile?

They're using Sellita now as far as I know, same as the more recent Prince models.

Do you know when the change happened on Prince watches?

I've been looking at one of the Far East Prince Dates for years but I'd prefer ETA by far if I've a choice.

A few years ago, not sure exactly when. They changed the reference numbers at the same time, so the blue-dial 76200, for example, became the M76200-0008. The Sellita-based calibre is called the T601.

Arrived. Much better than I thought it would be. Having owned a number of 36mm Rolex TT watches, this is an excellent low cost 39mm alternative with a leather strap.
