    Tudor Bracelet Prices

    I've been on the lookout for a Tudor Black Bay 58, trying to get one pre-owned below RRP and there seems to be a lot of watches on NATO strap available. Anyone know the current price for a BB58 bracelet from Tudor so I can weight up whether strap is an option then adding a bracelet later?

    On a discussion point, having been into a few ADs this weekend to try and find one to try on, this also makes me think that Tudor/ADs are definitely playing games with customers regarding availability. Seems I could walk into quite a few ADs and get hold of one on a NATO but finding one on a bracelet is impossible...you get the line "that one is a waiting list item only Sir, you couldn't possibly think to walk into a shop and buy one straight away!" They are the same watch! Fail to believe that a bracelet is a limiting factor in watch production!

    I think the 41mm bracelet was £630 or so when I asked a few months ago so somewhere near that I’d assume

    I want to go the other way - buy a Tudor 1926 on a bracelet, but maybe also get the leather strap later. But I am not sure whether an AD would be able to sell the leather strap separately - I have only seen them on the Tudor web site, and then only when you buy the strap with the watch.

    Maybe the bracelets were on a big ship that was stuck in a canal...

    Ah yes, that well known shipping route between Switzerland and the UK, with a slight detour to take in the sights of the Suez Canal. No wonder the bracelets are so expensive!

    In stock at Goldsmiths and WoS didn’t bother looking further but don’t see it as a “waiting list” item. Where do you live, to have several Tudor retailers and no stock?

    An AD can definitely source pretty much any of the alternative straps for Tudor watches. I’ve had them do it for several of my watches. It’s usually a case of a special order direct from Tudor, so can take a while.

    I was selling a brand new one for less than some of those used ones.

    The price is £525 + vat from Rolex St James for the BB58 bracelet.

    Perfect, thanks very much. If I'm intent on having the bracelet, even buying the cheapest secondhand strap version I can find doesn't add up economically.
