i have decided out of the blue that i want a tudor day date for work- does anybody know of the best place to get one(web/AD etc) and do you get discounts?

sorry if this needs to be on the non-rolex forum (i dont know how you guys feel about them) but im guessing it would be cheaper then a pre loved dj and would be great for work

Well, at least you're not in the USA where Tudor's aren't sold by AD's anymore.

I'm under the impression that the Tudor brand is distributed by Rolex AD's in the UK, so I'd probably start in your own backyard. You could begin by calling Rolex UK in London and asking where the Tudor's are sold and if they can give a dealer locator.

You could also take a quick trip accross the channel and see what's available in France.

There are at least a couple of Tudor sellers on the web...I'd Google in the model number into the search box and you'll probably see what I've seen...at least one source in the EU and at least one other in Asia. Again, because you're not in the USA, you will not have the import problems facing us here in the Colonies.

Good Luck.

OysterDavid's advice is spot-on as I'm sure there willl be a good few Tudor stockist's down your way. Good luck in your search but be careful - Tudor's are just as addictive as Rolexes!
Here's a pic of my Tudor Date-Day:

Yeah Sam , it's actually the first Date-Day version that Tudor made, Ref. 7017 which ran from approx. early 70's to 1978 ish before they changed to the 9450/0 Ref. The one above still has it's original folded Rolex bracelet. The 7017 can be spotted by it's 'thick hands' compared to more modern Tudor Date-Day's.
Good luck - Neil.
