The thickness didn't really bother me on my blue Black Bay, but yeah the new case design is a big improvement in both appearance and comfort. The jubilee bracelet is fantastic.

There are just too many in circulation, but the big killer will be if they replace it with a newer model with the case, dimensions and metas movement of the Burgundy or monochrome models.

I suspect that's what will happen next, at which point this V1 will become inferior rather than collectable.

This.

If there is a v2, everyone will pile in and the sell off of v1 will be steep…

My guess is that Harrods will do a v2…

And I bet if they do a V2 you will have to pick it up in London again.

A very nice watch I have owned several times. I doubt the collectability value unless many years down the road.

Having said this, I will be keeping my v1 and will likely put my name down for a v2 if it comes out.

I didn’t realize I started this thread. So since I first posted this, I have put my name on the list, got tired, bought it used from a dealer, had my name come up on the list, helped a forum member get the watch in London, got tired of the thickness, sold the watch, and am now waiting for the v2.

Pretty much the watch experience in one watch!

Comments re “too many out there”……..but how many have been seen out in the wild? I for one haven’t seen any, apart from a couple in the Horrids display case.

Lots are sold overseas and many for sale online. Now going under retail too. Think many have realised if v2 is released it'll plummet in value and I reckon many bought as they thought it would appreciate.

Biggest shock for me since tudors new movements come about is the value of the 79220n which always carried a premium given it's rarity. That's come down massively, the eta line all have.

Doesn't answer my question though: How many have actually been spotted being worn in the flesh?

It's the only watch that I have had random conversations over when worn out and about.

Means nothing imo. Around 15k have been sold according to the numbers. Ive a green op41. I've never seen an other in the wild, that said I'm under no illusions that tons have been sold.

Many haven't bought this to wear in the wild. They thought the harrods was going to be a investment. Sadly wrong imo.

There seemed to be the sense that it would be a limited run of pieces and the disappointment set in when certain (self-imposed) thresholds were breached - 5k and 10k seemed to be lines in the sand.

Perhaps some were just looking for the next hot piece after Rolex became unobtainable.

For Tudor it was just good business and for those who like the piece for what it is, a nice addition to the collection.

Roll-on the v2 on a jubilee bracelet!

Yes totally agree. I considered it a few times but the thickness turned me away. Always wanted a 79220n but couldn't justify the premium however, they've come down massively since v2 has come about.

I remember the 5k limit rumour, then 10k.drove the premium up but tudors new black bay line has killed that now I think. Same with black bay etas too.

Lovely watch regardless just a tad thick for me.

Nobody knows for sure but the best information I have from someone inside the business (for what it's worth) is there will not be another Tudor Harrods collaboration.

548 remaining as of now. These will disappear before the end of summer. So many tourists in London now.

So the BBH was introduced in 2017, around 5 years after the original burgundy bezel 79220; if we take this as a mid-product cycle boost to the range, it would make sense for Tudor to introduce a v2 sometime around 2028.

I can see no reason why Tudor would not do a v2 if a suitable profit share arrangement with Harrods can be agreed. After all, they appear to have sold around 14K units so it was good business. Clearly a win-win for both Tudor and Harrods.

It's a win win if both parties want it. I'm told that Tudor won't do it but time will tell.

The question is if Harrods which is a strong brand in the UK will want to continue associating itself with a low luxury watch brand like Tudor. They may have a chance of going with a higher tier watchmaker, and get a good sharing profit agreement to advertise their brand.

I would imagine that before agreeing with Tudor, Harrods probably approached other brands who, presumably said ‘nah-not for us’ or something similar. Tudor, on the other hand, thought why not and never looked back.

I would imagine for the next collaboration, Tudor will be in pole position unless, as you say, one of other brands accepts an offer. Who knows…

I’m enjoying the current watch (even if thicker than I’d like) and if a v2 should come around I’ll put my name down.

[The Londonist]

Unless I’m mistaken, there appear to be less than 10 left…

They keep coming. It's a special edition not limited.......

[Goose 104]

It was definitely down to 405 so I guess they found some more down the back of the sofa

The colour of the bezel on the gold BB 58 is the same colour of the Harrods bezel. So maybe this is the end of their collab as Tudor started using the Harrods color on it's models. Just wondering .

The YG model is more like what I would expect from a collaboration between Harrods and Tudor. I think we were fortunate to get a saner SS model.

[Manamana]

I wonder if the new BB41 jubilee can fit on the Harrods BB. Only 1.1 mm difference in thickness. Or the 41 Chrono jubilee which is 0.3mm less thick only compared to Harrods.

But no green tip on the seconds hand on the BB58
