Meadowhall goldsmith have some in too,Originally Posted by M1011
Got a call from them to see if I wanted one (even tho name not on list) so they have some in stock too
Just had an email from Goldsmiths, the Tudor BB58 Navy (bracelet) is now available to order on their website for click and collect. In stock currently.
Think stock is hard to find on this one still, so thought I’d share the link.

And Trafford Centre, had a text earlier to say they have stock, I wish Rolex would take note.
Ask for Kevin.
They're clearly getting easier to obtain now, give it another 6 months and you'll be able to get a discount
Yep, got a call from Goldsmiths at West Quay in Southampton saying the same. I’m not sure I even “registered my interest” in it, but had bought a BB58 from their previously.
Interesting that the same doesn’t apply for the original BB58. I assume that they must be harder to find still.
And it’s an award winner now too apparently
Unfortunately it's only a rather overweight shadow of the original.

Top cash back have a 10% offer for goldsmiths at the minute. Wonder if it works on that?
Ignore me I should have read the T&Cs!!
I was told I was second on their list but didn’t get the call...
I'm guessing your search found that you can't use the 10% cashback then? That would have been a great deal!
Have you ordered one? You can use the link in my first post to order for click-and-collect to the Southampton store
I do wonder how long some of the well known greys can leave their pricing for the BB58 blue at around 3.5k and more.
Landed with me to this am, they must have a big batch to push
Any discount likely on these? or what are they likely to offer as part o the deal? i went with a friend who bought a Omega SMP with 16% off and he got 2 Omega pens lovely quality
Availability now says it's on application only. I wonder if the greys have cleared up! Nothing like stifling demand to maintain high prices
Can you explain what you mean? Thank you
Sure. I’m not saying this is the case because I have no evidence, but it’s feasible that dealers have picked some of these up with a view to selling for a profit. As has been mentioned some are trying to sell around £3.5k.
Maybe i am not getting this, the email i had is at list price? so who is profiting nobody will pay more than list is they are openly offering them out on emails to anyone and everyone?
When I looked at Goldsmiths it already said out of stock and to register interest if you want the watch, so my interpretation was that they’ve already sold out. I was speculating that dealers could have bought some on offer to turn a profit. It was purely a speculative post based on supply and demand and what’s happening in the grey market
I got the email too, today. And there are dealers on Chrono24 still trying to sell it at £1000 over RRP. I assume stock will continue to be available from now on, so there will be far less selling at inflated prices in future. It has been so long since I registered my interest with Goldsmiths that I have quite gone of the watch and moved on to something else. Plenty more fish in the sea, fish that are readily available.
How many actually sell at those prices though? I followed a few on Ebay when they came out, none sold, I enqired pre lockdown here and they said a 3 week wait if I paid a 30% deposit, refundable if I didn't like it. Don't understand this "shortage", just looks like skillful marketing.
I can't imagine why anyone would pay over list for these, money/sense imbalance.
I've said before about the harrods version loads sold on ebay upto £4500 but are they real sales I dont get it. So many dodgy people on ebay I dont understand it all.
I toss a coin weekly on the bb58 and omega.smp blue but having seen SC i am waiting for a mint used one.
I actually walked into an AD and bought a navy BB58 a couple of weeks back with no issues at all. It was in the window. When I returned it the following day (guy had let me down on buying my SMP and I preferred the SMP anyway), they’d actually had another two come into stock that day as well.
It was quite a refreshing experience. If there is a shortage it’s most certainly an artificial shortage.
I have bought four watches since June, but all online, because of lockdown etc. I have never been in an AD shop. In the past I have walked past Goldsmith’s window, and it always seemed too exclusive for the likes of me. Now I look forward to the day when I feel confident about going back to the high street and walking into Goldsmiths.
Those places can definitely feel a bit intimidating, I know the feeling myself.
One thing to remember is the folk in there are just (hopefully) watch people, working a 9-5 in a shop at the end of the day. Just normal human beings like us, once you get past the façade. Treat them decently and you'll generally get the same in return
Think new stock must be coming through now. I placed a deposit at Hugh Rice on the 3rd of this month and had the call today that my BB58 blue on a bracelet is in, ready sat waiting til they open or they will happily arrange a delivery to my home address or a click and collect.
This was my first purchase from the shop having had no relationship with them previously.
Interesting that they are offering home delivery. Tudor ADs are not supposed to do that. Hence all the click & collect faff with Tudor and Rolex.
It's a great watch from what I've seen, enjoy it mate
There’s at least 4 local to me, ready to be picked up. Seems like the waiting lists have been cleared.
