    Tudor "Greenbay" Harrods Edition! Incoming

    So today I collected my Harrods Tudor Black bay! The watch is an absolute beauty! I got the call for this around 1-2 months ago, when I was told by my contact they would be getting these and I can choose my number. Unfortunately even by then, most numbers were gone, so I ended up with some random number (21) but who cares haha.






    Retail price is £2630.00 and you get VAT back ofcourse if you live abroad. Cracking watch at a great price!! Well done Harrods!

    Some photos of the Nato:




    Some initial thoughts:

    The bracelet tbh isnt great, this isnt unique to the Harrods edition but its my first ever Black bay and the riveted bracelet I cannot get a great fit, particularly i cant remove enough links on the 6 oclock positon. The minimum is 5, like the 5 digit rolex references. On my daytona I can remove to 4.

    Many small details that are super cool, like the tip of the seconds hand is dark green and the 200m inscription is green also.

    I think it looks really cool, but it's definitely aggressively sized on you. I require one more link removed from the 5 digit Rolex bracelets as well due to my small wrist. Perhaps you could buy one of the better looking old style BB bracelets and remove a permanent link from that one. It would be the best of both worlds.

    I really think it's a great colour combination for a great looking watch.
    The green and gold works well. Although I have to admit if you had suggested the option to me without a picture I would have said yuk. Shows what little I know.

    It looks great in green and well done for getting in there early, I bet we'll see one on Watchfinder for £5k by the end of the week!

    One of Tudor's best looking watches. It's the bezel's shade of green that works so well.

    Very nice. I’m still hoping to pick one up, but no further return calls to date :(

    Looks great Jordan! I’ve missed the boat on these sadly, always liked the black bay but this is special.

    Don't worry about it - not everyone is the target market for the active waist 48" tactical trousers in sales corner.

    Looks better on the NATO for me and I don't often think that.
    Nice watch

    In that case I’ll happily offer you 60% of RRP to take it off your hands ;)

    I love the colour in every pic so far. Enjoy.

    Just to check - are you including the SEL in that count? The final link on the 6 o'clock side seems like it can't be removed at first but in fact it can be if you remove the clasp foldover to get at it. I am at 4 links + end link at 6 o'clock.

    Even though it’s not my style of watch, I do find that rather elegant.

    No problem, glad to be of help. I had a similar issue and removing this link allowed me to get the clasp nicely centred.

    I had never considered this due to the bracelet's short side length. This is a really high quality contribution. Kudos!

    Really nice watch.

    Update on this: just spoke to a guy at Harrods. It is a special edition (as we all know) meaning that Harrods will order more next year to satisfy demand and these will all be numbered. It’s still worthwhile putting your name on the waiting list (I’m 850) if you want one of these as I’d imagine you stand a good chance of obtaining one. I can only see these being sought after once production stops.

    I also spoke to Harrods today. I was told the wait list was over 1,000 and therefore it is likely to be “a few years” before anyone new to the list gets to the top.

    Beautiful watch, the muted green is strikingly understated. It looks good on you.
