2016 Dec Availability of Tudor Black Bay Black ETA 79220N

Hi guys, just wondering whether you can still find the discontinued BBB at the retailers this late into the game.

I called up 20 watch shops here in Hong Kong and not one to be found.

Loads of the in house calibre black bays though.

I saw one in Rome earlier this week, and almost bought it. Thought I'd wait and see if I could get a used one here in HK a bit cheaper. I'm surprised you couldn't still find an unsold one at an AD here.

Yup I personally visited several of the dealers across Hong Kong and Kowloon side and I can confirm that the following retailers do not have it -

CTF
Oriental Watch
Chow Sang Sang
Dickson Watch
El Dorado Watch Co
Emperor
Fung Leung Kee Watches
King Fook
Tal Hing Watches
Europe Watch Co
Time City Ltd

If you can think of any other watch shops that might have them in stock do let me know!

What was the damage for the one in Rome? Used or Brand new?

Have you tried non-ADs around Champagne Court, and Kenwatch, etc?

I think it was about 2,950 euros, on leather. New.

Nope, I wanted to get one new. No worries, I'll be heading to London soon and try my luck there! Thanks Adam.

I don't think you'll have any luck in London. As you say easy to find the new in house. Did see a red ETA in Brighton

Can anyone confirm how long Tudor made the Heritage ETA BB with black bezel? I heard little over one year.
