    I am awaiting a nice Olive Green NATO for mine as I think it’ll set it off beautifully.

    Regarding wait lists if you think getting a Daytona used to be hard then this will blow it away as theres only one outlet for them in the world and they have the largest list to date on a single model!

    Assume this is only for the rivet bracelet? Couldn’t see how to on my BBT

    Well senility is obviously setting in...
    I modded this watch for SWMBO years ago!


    So it shows what little I know, I don't even know what's in the watch box.

    I will admit that Green black bay has the edge though.

    I like that a lot. My red has virtually not left my wrist sine it landed on the mat.

    Enjoy

    Thank you ! it’s my first tudor and i’m pleasantly surprised at how high, the quality of the fit and finish of the watch is. I know it’s a Rolex brand but at this price point including even the amazing in-house calibre is an amazing watch. Really liking it.

    Am holding out for a Madame Tussauds Black Bay Purple. Or perhaps the Buckingham Palace Gift Shop version with a gold bezel.

    It feels a bit like Tudors watering down the brand.

    You’re just being silly now. Have you not worked out that Green is Harrods but also Rolex brand colours and it won’t be going through the rainbow

    exactly Harrods corporate colours are green and gold, both of which is represented tastefully in the watch....

    That ship set off when they launched the two tone version, the date version, and the snow flake chronograph (barf).

    Amazing looking watch. The rivet style bracelet really looks good, much more in proportion than the original Blackbay bracelets, they used to have a huge wide centre link from memory with really put me off.

    Incidentally how many of these are they going to produce?

    For anyone interested, there’s one in the window of Sutton & Robertson on Fleet Street. A snip at £5800.

    That would be good. I’m surprised they haven’t contacted us all yet; at least the early callers.
    It's just a matter of time...

    So just over a 100 watches turned up yesterday afternoon. Up to a two year wait for new comers.
    You can no longer handle the prototype due to people taking wrist shots then listing on chrono24.

    So a regular model now just as was predicted by many. That 2 year wait will fade away fast as other watches take people’s fancy and any premium evaporates, great news for those looking to buy one.

    I was in Harrods on Friday and they had one of these on display in the Tudor cabinet. I didn’t realise there was a waiting list as presumably I may have been able to buy it? Wouldn’t have thought it’d be on show if not for sale.

    Wonder if anyone has all the versions in their collection? Would make a cool picture!

    That's the dummy watch you can no longer try on😂 due to people taking wrist shots & listing the watch for sale on chrono 24. The worlds gone mad!!

    Just like the 'Speedy Tuesday' thread this takes me back to my childhood.
