Where do you buy new Tudor in the U.S.?

I apologize if this has been asked before but where can you buy, or even look at, new Tudor's in the States? I go to the their website and the closest dealer is Rolex U.S.A., wherever that is. I really like the new Hydronaut II Chrono.

For the closest dealer head north to Canada as they are not available new here in the USA. The RSC-NY is where they get serviced but none available for retail sale.

Soon, and I don't know when soon is, you will be able to see them and purchase them in the USA.

Although I have never dealt with them but Artoftime.com (not AD) seemed to cary some new Tudors from time to time.

Tudors have not been available here in the US since 2005, the model you are referring to is the Iconaut dual time chrono. I have delt with interwatches.com based in miami FL, they have this model listed for 2690US which if you sign up with an account they will let you make offers lower than the asking price. The lowest i was able to get them to accept is 2100us. Hope this helps. Awesome watch btw.

Does anyone happen to know if Rolex ADs in Canada are also generally Tudor ADs?

As far as I know, Tudor are still not available in US. A couple of months ago I bought here in Europe two Tudors for two friends of mine and shipped to US.

Somehow my local Patek AD has several new Tudor's in their case but I don't think they can order them. I'm guessing that their buyer pickups up a few to bring back with him to sell but this is a total guess.

That seems plausible, I don't know the rules on this kind of thing but obviously NH borders Quebec so it's not all that far to get Tudors.

Tudor Source

I bought mine from "2000watches.com" out of Malaysia in April. They are a good company and sent the watch Fedex NDA. They don't have every model but most.

I was actually out and about today and drove right by the AD so I had to stop in. While there I realized all the new Tudor's they had are Tigers which they said can still be found at some US distributors which is why they had a half dozen in the display case.

I contacted Wempe here in NYC and they said their locations outside the US carry Tudor, but not in the US (as we know).

I asked if I could have them order one and they also said "No."

I also contacted ArtofTime.com and the nice lady said she was taking a trip in December to get some more Tudor's in stocks so if I wanted one I could place and order, leave a deposit and could have it mid-Dec.

I'm still on the hunt for one, and saw a few nice chrono's on ebay, but I'm too wary of sellers with low numbers. :-(
