Reply With QuoteThat looks great, congrats. I agree re the LV comparison, although I've not seen this Tudor in the flesh yet.
£2630. Waited about 8 months. Don’t think they are taking more names on the list currently. Not sure why or what that means re numbers, but my friend who collected the watch asked to be out in the list and was told that.Originally Posted by ml.williams

The tudor looks so much nicer, and a lot bigger even though not much on paper.! Congrats on a great watch, I think a bb is on my radar, now what to sell!! 🤣Anyone know if the Harrods comes with a NATO? I know Basel 18 onwards the normal models no longer come with the extra strap. Just wondered if the one does still?
Weird that it’s 41mm and hulk is 40mm. Looks more of a difference in this pic
When I held both the size difference wasn’t so apparent. What was apparent was the bracelet. The Tudor’s is much chunkier. The Hulk is gorgeous. No doubt. It is quite shiny everywhere though and I think I prefer the subdued colour palette Tudor have gone for.
Tudor green all day long. Congrats.

- not sure if this got answered but my one came with a black nato. This was picked up very recently
Thanks Mark. Yes it came with extra NATO.
No, me too!
The Tudor looks great. Makes me want to get one!

With the success of the Tudor collaboration with Harrods, I noticed that TAG Heuer have also produced an Autavia LE of 150 models for Harrods this Autumn, price £4500 approx.
Not sure if these are in store yet.
I prefer the Rolex bracelet but, otherwise, the Tudor is the clear winner for me. I think the photo perhaps exaggerates slightly but does highlight:
- just how busy the Rolex dial is (perhaps a little unfair comparing a date to ND though)
- how poor the legibility is cf the Tudor
- how much better the tapered Tudor lugs work and
- how clean the case looks without the crown guard
Just wish it were a few mm smaller and thinner. No excuse/need for that thickness really.
You think the Tudor has poor legibility? Surprised at that. One of the most legible watches I’ve owned.
No, I said "cf" (not "of") the Tudor i.e. compared to the Tudor. I'm saying the Tudor legibility is better!You think the Tudor has poor legibility? Surprised at that. One of the most legible watches I’ve owned.
If the Tudor is so much better/ preferable than/to the Rolex, how come it isn’t trading for stupidally bonkers amounts like the Hulk? I own the Tudor and think it’s a great watch for RRP £2,630 - a quarter of what you’d pay for a green pre-owned Rolex!
Never really looked at Rolex BUT, the more posts I read (with pics of course) on this forum the more my affinity grows - you lot could be sowing the seeds of a very expensive hobby in me. Congrats on your Tudor...btw I know I'm a newbie but am I alone in thinking the date cyclops spoils the Rolex aesthetically?

Whether it’s better or preferable is just a personal opinion ofc. No point comparing resale prices between the two either, but compared to its RRP it is trading for stupid amounts. Average sales are around £3800 and rrp is £2630. 45% over RRP.
The Hulk is similar I think in % terms.
Yep, and it’s still a pretty rare watch so will be nice to have in the small collection in the years to come. 👍
Another quick comparison shot

There's one of these in the pawnbrokers on Victoria Street in London.
They want £5800 for it.
£5.8k??😮
I walk past that shop, will take a look in the morning at least to take my mind off the football! 😕
Congratulations on the new watch.

Got the call to collect my one today, number 700 odd.
Out of interest what number roughly was yours, I take it they are not issued in numerical order?
No they’re not - spoke to someone today with number 875
Not sure how they number them given they are the sole distributor - bit weird
You’re putting you hand in your pocket then ?
