looks great. Prefer it to my red. Don't understand why they would limited its supply so much

Thanks Neil!! Great video! I could see myself with one of these if they become a regular run. It would match my hoodies I wear.

It's beautiful!

To piss off their customers. That seems to be Rolex's M.O. lately.

I saw that video also and the profile is someone called “Luxury Watch” with what appears to be no other videos, and the profile has 3 subscribers. Anyone able to find an official press announcement on this from either Tudor or Harrod’s?

If the rumor is true and they are 100% pre sold, i don't see why they would bother

They'd still have to promote a LE watch regardless of availability. I'd just like to see something that's not rumor sourced. Has anyone seen anything official. This video is certainly not.

It's deffo for real, I called up this morning and am on the list for the initial allocation. The initial allocation is now gone but they were taking names for a waiting list as of 11am London time

the other thread people said they ordered already (weeks ago) and Harrods has now closed the list as they are all spoken for, existing customers got a heads up early. Ive bought watches from Harrods before though and I didn't know. Thats why i am saying why promote it now? Its super weird to promote something that isnt available and technically never was.

Its called marketing, and its used to promote the brand. Whether or not you can aquire the actual product doesn't really matter.

Its all about shares, likes and hashtags these days

Now that's a Black Bay I can get behind...

Frustrating? Yes. Weird? No. It's clever marketing actually that creates buzz makes you want something you can't have. I'll admit, I want one. I already own a black bezel and I think that'd still be my number one choice, but the idea of owning something that only 100 people have kind of perks my ears. Damn, they got me! lol.

I guess I'll just have to go buy another BB with the red bezel to satisfy my BS desire. Damn! They got me twice

Looks good

[Loevhagen]

I'll be the first to say; "no". A tribute watch for a shopping mall? Seriously a bad idea.

Don’t think this is Rolex or Tudor. Think this is the company they partnered with. Harrods likely went to Tudor and asked to partner on a watch. That has a minimum piece requirement I am sure. It does with every other manufacturer. Harrods may not have wanted to commit to anything over the minimum, at least initially. If the demand is there and it wasn’t pre-sold to their loyal customers as a one and done run they may order more??? Who knows.

Only 100?!

This is going to be interesting.

[wuyeah]

What's the nickname for this one LOL?

I still associate Harrods with the Fayeds and Diana, so nothing good.

[Stevec14]

I read in an article today that it wasn't limited to 100. So who knows without official confirmation and I guess even some journos are guessing. Looks good though.

As said earlier, if enough of a demand is created they may do more than the initial run.

[harvey]

My brother phoned in today and apparently there will be another batch of 175?

[breitlings]

looks a lot like the kermit. My favorite offering of theirs was the mini range rover.

If this is sold as a regular run I will be getting one of these Kermit blackbays
