BB Harrods

[Oldwoods]

Got mine a couple of months ago and hardly worn anything else since.

Weird, so is the lume on mine an error? It looks a bit like a seamaster in the dark, though obviously with the snowflake hands instead of the skeleton hands.

Can you post a lume pic?

Same - all green.

Similarly, I'm curious if there's a way to use the "T-fit" clasp with the BB Harrods, as well as the BB GMT. Thx.

that doesn't look good. the color should be the same, green

[sgrossma]

Agree that it looks off. I would want it one or the other.

Anyone else’s in the States arrive?

i would definitely have that authenticate. Just to have that peace of mind

Mine arrived today off the pillow pad too. It is more scratched up than I would care for with a new watch.

That's interesting.

Here's mine.



Having spent a bit more time playing with the lume, my finding partly contradicts my earlier description.

The hands and markers are green. Same shade of green, same intensity. The pip is more curious. When charging with my UV torch it very obviously glows blue like the lume on any of my Rolex watches. As soon as the light source is removed and the lume is discharging under its own power the colour drops back to a greenish blue and goes green (same colour as the hands and markers) in less than two minutes.

Before drawing any definite conclusions, I would advise people to let the lume settle for 1-2 minutes after charging.

I have a Bamford GMT with blue lume hands and green lume markers. I used to have an Aquaracer 43mm GMT with a mixture of blue and green lumes. To me they look interesting.

I don’t think authenticity is an issue considering I bought it directly from Harrods. Seems like more of a defect but hard for me to believe that mine is the only one like that.

I had that thought but I could still distinguish between blue and green when I woke up this morning and the watch was in the dark the entire time.

My box arrived looking like it was used to play soccer. Watch and pillow were turned sideways. A couple minor scratches on the bracelet only. I do not plan to use the bracelet so it’s not a concern for me, and will go into rotation immediately. Overall happy with the purchase.

Order another and cross fingers. Or call the store and specifically ask someone to pull one and ensure that they have an all green. You should have a prepaid shipping label with your paperwork. Best to you!

I believe you and dont think Harrods sell any knockoff. But that one could be a return and the previous buyer swapped the watch. just a precaution.

Oof, that’s a good point, I hadn’t considered that. It feels, looks and behaves like other Tudors, even the bezel has that ‘lock’ once you hit the pip hits the 12.

If you can see it when dim and in darkness, you've obviously got something different. Batch issue? It wouldn't hurt to check with Harrods in case this is a known variation. I'd be tempted to keep it as an oddity but that's just me. You obviously have an issue which is worth a discussion if it troubles you.

I kind of like the oddity too but I’m going to call Harrods customer service tomorrow to see what they say

I'll be interested to hear their response.

I just pulled the trigger on one. Couldn’t resist getting a limited edition for $6435 CAD taxes-in.

[mshvarts1]

Love the color scheme don't know about the thickness

$5321 CAD is the direct currency exchange for the USD price of $3881. Are there some extra tariffs/duties that must be paid to the Canadian government? If I bought you this a s a gift and sent it to you, would there be additional duties?

Can you report on the lume on the piece you received? All green?

[isgrb]

It’s really a great looking watch, I definitely recommend it if you’re thinking about it. I’ve had my eye on it for years and it’s exceeded my expectations (despite the mismatched lume)

How bad are the scratches? I’m hesitant in ordering because of this

So odd they aren’t packaged well.

[JoeG]

Mine arrived Monday morning after being stuck in customs in NJ mid/late last week. The package was the size of a shoebox (a Harrods Shoebox). Paper surrounded the Tudor sleeve/watchbox. The watch was on the pillow, but no bezel protector. It could have been packaged better, especially since it made the long haul across the pond. Luckily no scratches.

I have been eyeing this for a few years. Once I read Bigsoftee's post (thank you for the post!), I ordered it. I absolutely love it!!! Now my other Tudor has company!!

Eeesh. Dare I say: gnarly. Return immediately

Tudor are notorious for lume mismatching. I closely examined 3 BB58 925s for this exact reason before pulling the trigger. The loom simply did not match between the hands and the plots. It was patently ridiculous.

I am quite disappointed about how they packed. I previously ordered Lego and some clothes from them they packed very well with the staff name whoever packed it. Considering over GBP3000 value don't deserve this kind of packing.
But it is stunning.
