I was in London last year, I was surprised when I went to Harrods and was able to buy it in the store, I though there was a wait list but apparently not.

If I understand correctly, these are just a Harrods exclusive, not a limited edition. So imagine as long as they sell, Tudor and Harrods will pump them out.

Yes, it's a special edition, not limited. Early on, it was speculated here that there would only be 999 as there was only room for 3 digits with that font size on the case back. Then Tudor just decreased the font size and went into the thousands. A lot of folks here got double-digit casebacks, I remember.

Sorry to disappoint, there is no waiting list

Hi, I'm new here and the Harrods was one of my more recent purchases. Love the watch, a bit bulky but I kind of like that as a contrast to my other watches. Was surprised to learn about the online ordering, wish they'd done that when I had to rush down to London post COVID!

My order shows as shipped today with FedEx tracking. Will report back if there are any issues, but I’m looking forward to receiving the watch!

Subscribed for update, for when you receive your watch. I really like this particular color of the BB and I actually have been on the waitlist.

I’m in the USA and my order shipped with a FedEx tracking. I didn’t think this would end up being real, so I am excited. I’ve wanted this piece but had no plans to ever be in London in the foreseeable future. Thanks for the heads up on availability.

Anyone on here put their Harrods BB on a leather or Nato strap (other than the one it comes with)?

I’m sure I’m missing something. But these BB are freely available all over the world and have been for long time. Is it that you can get them online? Is it cool from harrods? Fill me in.

Green dial is a Harrods exclusive. Until now, it has only been available in store. Not sure what the number sold thus far has.

I looked at this on-line and considered making a purchase. By the time you add in import duties and taxes I could just source it from a Trusted Seller for the same or less. It is cool that it comes from Harrod's but all of them do. I look forward to following the import of the watch from our member that made a purchase.

I have two BB GMT's (opaline and black dial) and love them. That being said, if they were only thinner. I was pondering ordering the Harrods but I just don't want another thick watch. If they did this watch in a BB 58 I believe it would be a massive winner, even more so than this version. One can only hope.

I wonder if the release of the Harrod's stock is the prelude to a new version? Or maybe the queue has dried up and they are sitting on shelves? Either way I'm happy. This is the only Tudor I wanted, and cor blimey is it thick - although I wear Sky Dwellers so it doesn't seem excessively thick, even if it is.

This is more the look I have in mind for it. Works for me.



I'll get a more appropriate strap with curved ends that I can use the OEM spring bars with.

Strange how they have become readily available. It is a nice looking watch though!

I will be curious to hear what's up next time one of our members visits Harrods. Interesting change for them. How big of a stockpile are they sitting on?

I have a feeling they are just clearing their stock for the next Harrods edition. Tudor don’t even make this model anymore, as evidenced by the black crown tube. I hope the next Harrods edition is a 58 or a 54.
