Even half a childhood in Hull hadn't prepared me for Grimsby.
Some of the comments on this thread are quite amusing, where common sense seems to have taken a walk. This is quite a nice watch, and anyone wanting one should get one, as for the comments on this being a 6k watch or at near 5k good value.... then clearly there is more going on and people aren’t silly.
I’m told one of these was very recently available at t3 duty free, so under 2k and they passed as they didn’t like it, which is the right thing to do, let someone else who does have it. I suspect before too long you will be able to get one along with the customary beefeater teddy and green bag, all good stuff really.
Limited or regular. This watch is just quite nice but a little derivative. Don’t understand the fuss

The reason people want this is because it’s effectively Tudor’s answer to the Rolex Hulk and these have become virtually unobtainable, trading used just shy of £10k. Tudor will stop producing them (much sooner than we imagine) and move onto other things, therefore I fully expect this Harrods version to appreciate quickly and and in a similar fashion to the Hulk. This watch not only has very good investment potential but looks nice as well.
Agreed but still looks great. Better than the majority of black bays

Can see it as an exception to the rule

Has anyone pick up a unnumbered watch yet. If yes when did they call to be put on list.
Has it been confirmed that they won't be numbered?
Does this waiting ‘list’ exist at all? I’m beginning to think they won’t produce anymore once the initial batch has been snapped up.
Got the call from Harrods today, pick mine up at weekend
I still see the 79220N as more of a collector's watch. Very unique
I thought I had my name down for one of these but just called to clarify and my name wasn't there. So I'm now just short of number 2000 apparently
I really want one but don't want to pay over RRP so maybe in 5 years, I'll get one.
I had been on the waiting list for this one since November and collected mine from Harrods lunchtime, yesterday. Great watch (it’s numbered three hundred and something so I don’t see where only the first hundred or so were numbered comes from?), great service. The sales guy said that the waiting is currently over 2,000 with more joining it all the time. When asked whether they would all be guaranteed a watch, he replied that It was entirely up to Tudor as to how many they produce; they could stop tomorrow or they could go on making them indefinitely - he just didn’t know.
What was interesting was that they continue to be inundated with people asking for Black Bay, ETA versions - particular the black one - so hang on to those if you’ve got one! Anyway, stay patient and I hope all those who want the (green) one are successful. 👍

That’s interesting because at no point has it been suggested to me that Tudor might unilaterally pull the production. I’ve just been told to ring up occasionally , that I’m on the list but I’ve only got 48 hours to react to the call. Therefore I’m hoping I don’t get a call in a poor reception area . Thinking on this I might Bell them to see if they’d consider also emailing.
If that guy is correct that’s quite worrying
Do you have a direct number for their watch department, or did you just call Harrods Customer services? If you have a direct number, would you mind providing me with it?

Harrods sales team the very reason I bought my IWC in Munich and paid more than I needed.
They where that good at losing a sale with a lousy,ill informed attitude.
I would rather give my money to someone I like.
As for this watch,besides not liking it the fact that it seems to have gone the way of Rolex with lists more lists etc. really hacks me off.
Kind of agree, but a lot of brands, supported by ADs, seem to be playing the eclusivity card these days. The bloke in Harrods said the mystique of the green black bay was doing wonders for Tudor sales. Admit they’re playing a game with us but who can blame them? Many of us appear to be willing to indulge in the hope that we’ve landed something a bit more special than the standard fare.
