Had the call to collect Harrods Tudor. Being up in Scotland this presents slight logistical issue as they only accept purchase in store. Any members near there could pick it up for me and pop it in the post?
Hi Rusty, I should be able to pop over there tomorrow and post Friday if that is any good?
Thanks guys - Ben I am just WhatsApping with the store manager at the moment, and also a friend in London who may be able to sort it which would be perfect as he’s coming to Glasgow in a week. I didn’t think he was in the country but if he fails to manage I would take you up on your offer Thank you.
Well done Ben, great gesture.
The forum spirit at its best.
If any of the above don't work out for you, it is just down the road from where I work, so happy to grab it and stick it in the post same day.
Great kindness guys. I’ve transferred the cash to a friend in London and should now be in hand to get done soon. Appreciate the offers a lot
Give me a bell next time I can sort collection and shipping etc , glad youre sorted, good forumming
Such nice gesture from all

Rusty If your drop off falls through I am travelling up to Glasgow on the 13th - eagerness may get the better of you though.

I’m based in central London, not far from Knightsbridge, so if you’re stuck in future I’d be happy to help.

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
Oh well that’s good to know. I think the black bay blue suits the bracelet, but I don’t think the black bay red does, and I’m not sure the green will either. I think it’s the gilt on the dial...a steel bracelet is too much - clashes with the bronze coloring. The blue doesn’t have the gilt markings. Can see the green looking great on the NATO so good it comes with it.
Harrods just confirmed it does come with the extra NATO. Weird that a LE is same price as a normal black bay and comes with NATO whereas normal black bay doesn’t now, so basically the “special” edition is cheaper than a BBR!
Confirmed the number of the watch is 743, so still not many of these sold. Trickle feed production with no specific limit on numbers but be interesting to see how many get sold before they stop making them.

That Tudor looks far better than the Hulk!
Congrats - that looks oustanding!

I much prefer the classic oyster case dimensions on the Tudor. I find the Rolex colours more appealing though.

I think a large part of the appeal of the Hulk was a change in case shape. It’s well known I have a few black bays already, but the more I think about it, I like the B.B. shape so this makes sense more I guess. Matching straps to a green will be an interesting game too - looking forward to that. Once again thanks to all who offered to facilitate pick up. It’s appreciated and humbling.
Friend gave me the Harrods this afternoon. Interestingly he had his Hulk on. Very different watches, and strange as it seems I’m in agreement with Ally (first time for everything right?). I think the Hulk is a bit shouty for me. Love the Harrods Tudor tho, so green box ticked
Congrats on the new arrival, it looks really good - especially in that last picture.
What’s the RRP? And how long did you wait till you got the call? I agree with all the watch looks fantastic.
Really great looking watch, congrats on the purchase.
