Tudor 5B question
Hi Guys, I have not been able to establish how many Tudor Bronze Blue watches were made, does anyone know please?
All of the waiting lists were closed long ago and the only outlet still to issue any stock is Covent Garden which is where I bought mine. I asked them how many were made and they were somewhat evasive about answering the question. I did manage to establish that Bucherer had taken 250 names for the UK but they hinted that not everyone on the list would get one. So if anyone has managed to find out what the total production run is I'd love to know. Thanks |

My best Guesstimate
Production Period: June 2017-June 2018 Total : Min 225 ; Max 250 - 260 pieces only My Hypothesis ✓ Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 x Bucherer Blue Edition LE/50 pieces Rose Gold PAM00695 >> £19600 ✓ Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 x Bucherer Blue Edition LE/100 pieces Stainless Steel PAM00694 >>£ 9000 ✓ Tudor 5B >> £4000 Using total sales from the SS Officine Panerai Radiomir x Bucherer Blue Edition = £9000 x 100 = £900 000 Now take that value divided by the current market price of Tudor 5B £ 900 000 ÷ £ 4000 = 225 pieces only * If you apply the same formula to total sales from Rose Gold Model £19600 x 50 = £980000 ÷ 4000= You get 245 pieces so pretty close ! Total production 225 pieces but since demand > supply , Bucherer will consider adding another 25 pieces so a healthy 225 + 25 = 250 pieces But wait! Why not make the final tally to 260 ? Bucherer will be celebrating its 130th Anniversary so.....What the Heck! Lets double the happiness and make that 130 x 2 = 260 Taaa...Daaaa Megan, you read my diary, didn't you? |

Thanks for taking the time to work those numbers Megan, much appreciated.
I contacted Bucherer in Switzerland this morning rather than my local dealer and have been told that they will try to find out for me but warned me that they might not be allowed to disclose the information. I have no idea why there is such a reluctance to disclose the info. Anyway, If I get an answer I'll post it up here right away. Thanks again. |
