Are Tudor "special orders" the same as Rolex?

[Poodlopogus]

Was looking for a particular Tudor reference (BB54), called around locally, and nobody seemed to have one in stock. One dealer said they could order, with a deposit. However, my question is: What does that mean in terms of Tudor?

I know that with Rolex it means "we'll put in a request for something we've already been allocated and hope for the best" but perhaps with Tudor it means that it's actually possible to put in a genuine order, to be filled in relatively short time?

Just pick a Rolex dealer you want to deal with in the future and order the watch. It's not difficult to get. They probably just waiting for next shipment.

Really cool watch though.

There's a couple of Tudors that are more like Rolex, but not the BB54. I visited at least 3 Tudor ADs this past weekend and they all had the BB54 in stock. It's not a hard watch to get. So yes, they will definitely be able to get it for you.

I had to do this with the BB58 GMT, which included paying a deposit.

What i have noticed through these years of BB editions is that when a new BB release comes up the distribution becomes very slow and this leaves the ADs with shortage of supply and high demand so they dont give any discounts but after 6 months or more once the hype wears off they started offering substantial discounts and almost begs customers to buy the stock.
However recently i heard that ADs are not allowed to give a discount more than 10%. If someone has more info please chime in

Well both Rolex and Tudor are mass produced watches with Rolex making and selling around 900000 each year not sure about Tudor. Like all watches all brands if not in stock well that AD could order one, when it come well that's like saying how long is a piece of string.The Tudor BB54 is quite a popular watch so wait time should be weeks rather than months or years,

The only watch my local Tudor AD didn't have on hand is the new BB41. They recently got display models which look great but otherwise had plenty of stock.

Look on the internet for a Tudor Boutique, call and get the watch. Not hard. Look at our Trusted Sellers and get the watch and save some money.
