What’s the UK RRP on these?

Is £2911 as that’s what I just won an eBay auction for one for. So these aren’t going to sell for 50% above RRP unless I was super lucky

£2790 is RRP. By the time seller has paid eBay and PayPal fees he’ll be down overall assuming he paid RRP

Fair price given the other 3 or 4 on there , lets see if it is a smooth transaction
or " lost "
Yeah was going to say this.
There’s also the thought it could be an employee somewhere who’s bought it at discount?
I bought a (granted much cheaper) LTD edition black Seiko the other day, 5 days old RRP of £369 bought and sold by a Watch shop employee “using his discount” and he accepted £220 for it!
Wonder if all the hype is wearing off now they are starting to be seen in a few stores? Perhaps time for the "speculators" to sell before the bubble busts.
I was watching this auction and got a notification on my phone 15 minutes before it ended. Unfortunately I was in a meeting at the time so couldn't do anything about it. I wasn't going to go about £3k for it anyway as I'm sure these will be readily available in every AD by the end of the summer.
Congrats.
I was also watching the item and thought that the seller ended the auction early.
OP, have you definitely won/paid?
I did wonder how a seller with only one feedback would fare and he also preferred F2F which may have limited his market.
Anyway the seller would be taking a bit of a bath after fees if it was paid by PayPal so cash on meeting will be vastly preferable to them.
I have a £2.8-£3k offer from watchfinder as I have decided not to keep mine. I will see if they follow through. Tempted by a higher price through a consignment sale but I don't want to take the risk.
Buy a Pepsi Rolex and make £5k on it... makes sense. Buy a Tudor and make £100 on it. No sense, just let somebody buy it who wants it and save yourself some hassle.
I had a look round the Harrods watch market the other day and they had a green Tudor there. Maybe it was just on display.
"A man of little significance"
Alas not.
I would have happily listed it on SC at RRP +5-10% to see if the desire was there and taken offers, but i could not face the inevitable backlash.
It may sound pretty pathetic to try and eke £200 out of one of these but watchfinder will be selling them at £4.5k+ so it seems a shame to miss out on a slice of the pie. Or listing it at RRP and finding out it went to a hooverer who subsequently profiled on it.
Perhaps I should have offered it at RRP to one of the forum nice guys like Wayne who never profits and always passes on a bargain to the rest of us. That would have been the gentlemanly thing to do but my greed got the better of me.
What I really should have done is never buy the damn thing in the first place without being completely and utterly sure it is a keeper. I think if it had just had a blue dial to match the bezel and some mico-adjust it could have been an absolute winner for me. Re-reading some of the posts in the Pelagos, particularly after rereading sweets post on the subject http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...-Double-Part-2
Made me reconsider selling that to fund the BB. The U1 was a 40th birthday present that I am also loath to sell.
Perhaps in a year or twos time I may get a nicely wabi'd, who knows....
I'm with you on this, they'll be readily available within a couple of months. The ones that are appearing on Ebay are not going to do much if anything over RRP. One guy has a listing in which he says he's bought 2 so is selling one as he doesn't need both. Already they can be reasonably had if you can buy 2 together.
Maybe a brand as expensive as Rolex can command premiums on new models as they are rich boys toys and have a status which is recognisable but not a mid range under £3k watch that the vast majority of the public have never heard of?
I don't think the speculators are going to be covering the cost of their time with the premiums this Tudor will command.
It's undoubtedly a super watch and one I'll be buying some time this year. Just hope I'm right and can get one.

No, they are not advertised yet but they will have them incoming.

Tudor will sell a lot of these and I imagine not hold up sales to their AD's, I would def buy one for myself but not to try and make a few quid, this isn't going to be a limited edition and Tudor are not in the market of controlling stock like Rolex.
Once readily available I think the used market will be around £2200/£2500..
I’m collecting mine on Sunday, also picking one up for a colleague who’s selling for £3150 if anyone here is interested in his. If so message me.
Agreed. Really not worth the hassle.
I wish people wouldn’t do it with Rolex, but anyone can see the temptation/ motivation to do so is much higher.
If the Tudor does command a £1,000 plus premium, I’m pretty sure it will be a short lived phenomenon and a few people that pay an inflated price might soon come to regret it...
Assuming they have more sense than money😀
I could not care less.
i think it is great and i am keeping mine

As expected the seller flaked. No response now to messages when I insisted on PayPal payment (as per his advert which stated PayPal payment).
His 1 feedback rating is about to go to zero

Pity as it wasn't a bad price compared with others that are listed.
Maybe the fees etc would have seem the seller lose money and they are trying to prevent the sale.
Deals back on. He was worried about being scammed via PayPal with people apparently retracting the payment but I've allayed his concerns and meeting him in an hour
I've had this happen to me (not a watch) and it really irks me. I suspect that not only has the seller gone flaky after only achieving a low price but was always flaky, deliberately setting up a new account in case of this exact scenario. They clearly had no intention of playing by the rules of an auction. The fact that messages aren't being responded to only confirms what a total pr**k they are.
Guys just new to Ebay. I can understand his concerns. Since deals back on maybe calling him a pr**k is a little OTT lol
he's letting you pay via paypal and giving the watch to you in person ? He's a fool. I have no doubt you're genuine, but that is the easiest way to scam somebody on eBay as they will have zero proof of postage or delivery. I'd certainly never do it, anything via paypal would get sent insured post.
Et voila. WHAT a watch. It's like the old gmt master. I've also had the new Rolex Pepsi and I prefer this
