I have been eyeing the BB58 for a while in blue, the watch not me. I am even more inclined to buy now that they are available in silver, but I live a plane trip away from my nearest branch of Ernest Jones, so there are two questions. Are watch shops as a whole allowed to sell new Tudors by mail order or would I have to visit? Has anyone managed to use the 10% discount code, that EJ offer for your email address, against a Tudor.

Thanks Ryan.
Was that yes to will have to visit?
I assumed that expecting the discout to work would be a little cheeky.
Thanks
You can get the Tudor online and shipped.

Excellent. Thanks.
I think there is a waitlist on the BB58 925 though, so dont expect it too soon
Thanks. I can wait for the intial excitement to pass.
There's a YouTuber who claims his has tarnished after a month:

The tarnishing is a brownish yellow.

If it’s on the website then try using Quidco as it offers cashback on the online store

The tarnishing is disappointing, but then of course I could be strange as I would happily wear a BB bronze and let that tarnish, but the BB58 925 I would have to polish the tarnish out.
Is it me or does there always seem to be a problem with new Tudor watches?
I have Quidco, but thanks for the suggestion SH. I have signed up for the EJ newsletter/discount, so I assume that they would consider me to be an existing customer and would decline Quidco on those grounds. To be honest I didn't think that I would get any discount knowing how popular Tudor are.
It's supposed to be a tarnish resistant silver alloy, perhaps with some germanium in it. I've no idea whether the YouTuber's experience will prove typical, but I wasn't keen on the colour of the tarnishing so I'd keep an eye on this issue.
Another mystery is why they've gone with a brushed finish, it'd be easier to maintain with a silver cloth if it was brightly polished.
As it is, it doesn't appear to lend itself to DIY refinishing, particularly as if in the course of trying to remove tarnishing, you get shiny patches; then the course finish on the cases sides would likely need a polishing wheel and although the lug gap looks to have a simpler finish that could be done by hand, you'd have to have the tools to remove the bezel each time, as it overhangs the case slightly.
Also if vintage Omegas are anything to go by, silver is softer and after a few decades of use, they look distinctly less crisp when compared with steel counterparts.

I am not sure Quidco works on Tudor or Omega from EJ
Doesn't it say "collect in store" anyway for Tudor, so presume online wouldn't apply?
