BB Harrods

[Scholar]

I've liked the green since they released it, but I think the 2023 revision fixed a lot of what was wrong with the in-house Black Bay 41 so it seems like a bad idea to buy this instead of waiting for the update.

There is a chance Harrods won't collaborate with Tudor again. Harrods may go with another brand or won't do a BB again. Harrods may do another Tudor model altogether. It is all about how much a watch maker will pay Harrods to use it's brand.

It's thick, there's no getting away from it. The case back sits nice on my 6.5" oval wrist. Having said that, I'm used to wearing Sky Dwellers, so it's all relative.

Could it be due to the Customs examining the watch and not returning it on the same way it was packaged? I thought that customs can check the merchandise prior to release to ensure that it is what is labeled ?

I'm returning mine. The scratches are beyond what I can accept.

Pic?

Has anyone been sent a clean one? I wonder if they are dumping the ones that were returned/imperfects now? I figured the only risk was $30 shipping, so I took a chance, but am curious.

I got one on order that is pending shipment. Will keep everyone posted. Ordered yesterday, October 3rd

Yes. Watch sitting correctly in box on cushion, no marks, bezel protector in place and stickers on the case back and clasp (not bracelet or lugs). The box was mint inside and out and included an intact white outer white sleeve. My transit packaging was identical to that shown in the picture on this thread. Mine went direct to a UK courier and did not need to go through customs.

I had the same thought about them dumping inventory. Particularly returns, defects etc. for buyers outside the UK since it’s more legwork to initiate returns.

In any event, I talked to Harrods this morning and sent them the pic of my multi-colored lume, will report back once I hear back from them.

For what’s worth, the number on the case back on mine is 98xx which would indicate it’s not fresh off the assembly line.

Not remotely recent. Mine's 11XXXX. You could be onto something.

That could explain the crazy cheap price that somehow included duties

No problems on mine. No scratches, nicks.
Watch slid a bit on the cushion but all was in place.
All green lume.
Number ~12750
I don’t think Harrods is selling returned watches. Their reputation is worth more than that. But who knows.

Depends on province, but sales taxes are approximately 13-15% on top of import duties of around 5%.

I had one in my cart and proceeded to checkout until I called my local Tudor AD and they have quite a selection of Tudor available immediately. I owe it to myself to go see if they have one that’s more desirable. Although this is pretty nice.

The Harrods was going to cost me $4100 to get it home.

Thanks for the input!

Mine arrived today after being stuck in NJ awaiting customs clearance since last Wednesday. Everything intact with stickers and bezel protector in the Tudor box on the cushion with the white outer box sleeve. What I paid on the website was it. No further duties or taxes. Great deal. Tried to size it at home but the darn screws are on so tight I couldn’t do it. Gonna have to take it into an AD. Very happy with this purchase. Have been waiting a long time for the chance to own one but no way was gonna pay a $2-3k premium these had been going for.

Great news! Hopefully the others will have the same experience as you!

How do AD’s react when you go to get a watch bi=ought offsite sized? I feel like i want to find one that i am not trying to get a Rolex from.

Mine was still on the cushion, but on its side. I didn’t see any scratches and am perfectly happy with it. Lume is all green. Didn’t check S/N yet.

When I purchased mine the Tudor manager at Harrods told me they don’t always come with sequenced numbers on the reverse if that helps.

The two tone lume is strange I think I’d want it changed as it would annoy me as it does look odd. But it is unique!

Might be worth hanging on to as it will be an “error dial” so worth more in future?

What’s the difference between Harrods and the red BB? Other than the green basil?

Couple of tricks to "loosen" the screws if you have not done so already - run the links of the bracelet with the screws you want to remove under some mildly hot water for a bit which usually does the trick. If not, take a hair dryer and aim it at the screws for a while. If neither of those work, off to the AD for sizing!

By red I assume you mean the new burgundy? The burgundy is more expensive; has a better crafted crown, T-fit clasp and METAS Master Chronometer certification.

My answer context was at the launch of the Harrods green. It was the same bb burgundy case from that time. You are looking at the response relative to the metas versions from 2023. Both right

Hello guys,

I received mine yesterday, like others have mentioned it was sitting on its side? Also there were no stickers on it or bezel protector, nor the hang tags on it. Looked to me like and open box piece or returned piece? Not 100% new. I did not see any damage to watch.

Maybe it’s what others are saying that these are being cleared out.
Mine is 11600 don’t know if that matters.

I have not checked my loom to see if it’s different. You guys are experts, I would never think of looking at the loom.
