I began a lust to collect Tudor BB's in May 2019. Seven days later, I put a full payment for the BB58 on June 1st. September 1st (3 months later) it came in.

When they announced the Black Bay Chrono Dark on September 14th, I put down another full payment - but the AD wasn't be allocated one. Many calls to other ADs in Canada, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Japan proved no luck (they either sold out or were not allocated one). I still am hoping/waiting to get a full refund, as they took the payment assuring they will receive one - but haven't yet. All 1181 have already been allocated to ADs, and now they mentioned the watch is on backorder. I will never put down a full payment without confirmation of receiving the watch again.

Luckily - I was able to find one in stock - from an AD in Chicago. I am halfway across the country, so I purchased the watch but will not be able to pick it up until I visit Chicago. We're going to New York and Boston, so a two day stop in Chicago will need to be followed

Two Tudors in 3 Months. The watch is now in their backroom waiting to be picked up.

Definitely grateful I am able to have 2 Tudor's others are having a bit of a challenge getting their hands.

That being said - If I was more knowledgeable about Tudors earlier, this is the order I would've purchased the watches:

1 - Tudor Harrods
2 - Tudor Black Bay Chrono Dark
3 - Tudor Bucherer
4 - Tudor 79220N ETA
5 - Tudor Bronze Brown (79250BM)
6 - Tudor BB58

Picture AD sent me of the 79360DK

Picture of the 79030N still in the box, waiting for a strap before wearing.

@thatexplorer,

If he is seriously interested, I reached out to another AD that had one in stock. He’s not located so cal, so you will have to fly out to Missouri to pick it up. 25% deposit and pay the rest when he picks it up.

Let me know and I will let the AD know first before I send contact info his way.

Beauty! Wear in good health!

illini675 · 30 September 2019, 07:06 AM

Congratulations! I tried the watch on last week (At J&S, where you presumably found it!) and it was an absolute stunner. Glad to see it go to a good home on TRF!

unknown · 1 October 2019, 01:45 AM

owning all the pieces you mention except the 58 because it's too small I can tell you I would switch nr 1 and 2

The harrods is very nice but the Chrono Dark with only 1181 pieces is much more interesting

And please add the GMT :-)

Damn that chrono looks sharp! I would suggest a GMT to you as well. Mine is starting to hog all my wrist time
