200, really!! that's unexpected.

My AD said they have been told that their allocation will be extremely limited but no numbers.

Then again I was told, when ordering, that my BMW M2 would very limited and a right load of cr@p that turned out to be.

I really like it. As an Explorer II fan I'm a big fan of a steel bezel.

But strangely comfortable I am finding, it really doesn't feel too much different to my 58 and disappears on the wrist, until I snatch a glance of course and see enough sheet metal to clad a small building lol!

The strap is a very nice feel as well, I could never get on with the hard feeling BB41 leathers but this rubberised version is superb.

Weird is not always bad...

Guys this 200 figure is purported to be the number on the waiting list at Harrods according to an earlier post, not the production run figures!

Seriously though, supply may be different in your part of the world but here in the UK the biggest Tudor dealer got 5 (all allocated) and they don't know when they are getting any more.

Congrats.

I have not got one yet. I’m struggling a bit with the fit when I tried it on.

The deployant gets into the bottom of my wrist a bit, which is uncomfortable.

What size is your wrist?

How many tudor Ad’s are out there? I’d take that and x2 or 3 and that’s the run I bet

eco8gator · 17 November 2019, 03:17 AM

7.5in wrist, fits me just fine. One of the most comfortable watches I've worn to date.

My wrist is a little over 7 1/4 inches but quite flat. It wears well on me but I can imagine it not suiting some wrist shapes. The clasp does leave a slight mark but no discomfort.

I have ordered a Tropic from UK store Watchgecko to try which may or may not work with the stock deployant but comes on a buckle anyway.

Looks to be about 160 in Europe

scurfa · 17 November 2019, 03:35 AM

Goldsmiths’s told me they did not order enough for each shop, they were asked a while ago how many they wanted, I’m not sure if that is standard for all models.

Wonder how many world wide. I’d be surprise to see more than 1000 of these watches produced in total

What size strap did you order? It looks to be 20mm.

I am curious as to how that works out.

I love the watch otherwise. Just need to to see if I can get it to fit better.

Grapenut · 17 November 2019, 08:34 AM

Saw one today in the case at my AD. Liked it a lot better in person, just too big for my wrist. It is a unique piece, but doesn't scream steampunk as much as the marketing pictures did.

Yes I ordered the 20mm to enable it to fit within the permanent first steel link.

Importantly the Watchgecko 20mm is relatively short for a Tropic which is essential for this watch as the lugs are so long and there is a fixed link each side as well.

DoctorA · 17 November 2019, 09:31 AM

Not a watch for me! Don’t care how sought after it might become!

200?? Surely he was joking? But I suppose they do have a high footfall

I did read there was an issue getting the locking mechanism working correctly but not heard anything else regarding a manufacturing issue or cost of production but with how delayed the release was there must have been some sort of problem

I guess time will tell. I don’t think it was ever going to be intended as a watch for long term production but rather an aside to the standard range. But who knows

I think the more that people seem them, the more people will want one

Thanks if one turns up it would be good if not I'm pretty sure Grand Sekio will be more than happy to take my money and sell me a nice Spring drive.

Pretty sure you will get one.

I am meeting a WIS friend at the Trafford Centre tomorrow evening and we will be popping in to my Tudor AD for a drink and a chat as usual. I will see if I can throw any light on what is happening with supply.

Nice move

It would be good to hear from the horses mouth the UK situation seeing as how models there seem generally hard to come by
