Hello,

A quick question. I bought a tudor BBB not long ago on leather straps (sort of regretted the purchase at first but then I saw the watch on steel and thought otherwise). Anyway, I've been after a steel bracelet (or bracelet end links) for a while. Does anyone know where I can source it (or the bracelet end links)?
My current location is London.

I'm sure an AD can get either for you. Otherwise they pop up every now and then on the secondary market, but the AD will be your best bet.

Thanks for the response.
The thing is that I'm yet to come across such a thing as 'Tudor AD' in London. All the shops listed on the tudor website seem to be a general watch store that also happens to sell Tudors.

In fact I asked an 'AD' at Westfield in London to order a bracelet a couple of months ago and they didn't even get back to me. They actually tried to dissuade me from asking to purchase in the first place.
Any other idea?

Any Tudor AD could sell it to you but they need to request it from Rolex. Go to any store listed as Tudor AD in London and ask for it. I think the cost is around $850. You could also look at the grey market and you will save a lot.

Thanks for that.
Gray market you say?
What are we talking here?

Try Rolex in St James Square, they also "do" Tudor too

I'm in London myself and know of a couple places that sell tudor that could source the bracelet...having said that I too was after the distressed leather for my black Bay and the sales guy never got back to me, and that is two different ADs. So they're pretty useless. But I never pursued it myself, couldn't be asked.

That's what we mean by "AD," a general watch store that happens to be authorized to sell Tudors. We refer to one-brand watch stores as "boutiques," just to clarify.
