Can a Tudor watch be ordered through a U.K. Rolex dealership?
Hi Everyone,
I live in the United Kingdom and read somewhere, but can not remember where? That Tudor watches could be ordered through an authorised Rolex dealer? If this is so, does anyone know whether I will be possibly able to order a Tudor Black Bay through a Rolex dealership? Many, many thanks in advance for any kind replies. All the very best everyone… The Laird

There were so many Tudor boutiques in HK when I was there last week. In fact there were a lot of high end boutiques full stop.
Although this comment does not really help your cause! |

Am I missing something here? Why don't you call the AD?

Sorry about the brief response earlier, currently loused with flu and replied during a particularly heavy patch .
A year or so ago I ordered a Tudor Heritage Chrono from my local AD, initially the AD wanted full payment upfront but dropped that stipulation when I averred that doing so should waive any price increases in the interim After the due wait a grey dial version showed up, I wanted the black so I passed & the AD sold to another interested party. Hope this helps |

Not sure about U.K., but I live in the states and placed a deposit on a Pelagos with an AD in Canada and they said its against the rules to send the watch to the states, so I'm taking a road trip to Windsor... they are expecting delivery in August!

Before I moved to the States, I was able to order a Tudor through a Rolex AD. However, one required payment up front. I'm not sure if things have changed in the years since then however. I'm simply glad I live here in Western NY. While snowy half the year, at least I'm able to pop up to Canada for one of those delicious Black Bays...

Not sure on the deposit, but they didn't know pricing either and provided an expected range. Also, my guy couldn't confirm if Tudor was going to receive a price increase too.

There are a few people from Australia and Singapore who have the Black Bay in hand already. Wish I was one of them! That and a Grantour Fly-Back are on my wish list but being in the US doesn't make it likely to come true.

I thought Tudor was inventoried and sold throughout the UK Rolex AD network.
Obviously I was wrong. So in what part of the world has Tudor been retailed the past several years? |
