Someone offered me one at £5000. I'm thinking about it, but I already have a Kermit. Davidsw had a bbbb for about $6000+ usd.

Did the Shopping Mall hype fade?

kwingy 9 February 2018 11:22 AM

Well I got the call but typical I am out of the country ATM. Hope this will keep hold of it for me on my return.

I like it but I'm waiting for the "David SW Green Rolex GMT Limited Edition" to come out at Baselworld 2018! [emoji106][emoji3]

DognMoon 9 February 2018 12:03 PM

Congrats on that one. I'd probably let go of my three tudors just for that one. The avocado green has such a cool 60's vibe, I can't take my eyes off of it.

Andad 9 February 2018 12:29 PM

I see them at Au$11500.:thumbsdow

Amazing 10 February 2018 12:34 AM

I was in Harrods last weekend and saw them (they had three in the case). Those three weren't for sale but I joined the list. I was told two years which might as well mean "go away since I don't know you by name". Maybe it'll come up one day.

The DavidSW limited edition would be exactly the same as the normal model from AD, just with 20% higher price :cheers:

Ok, I'm slow, so talk to me like I'm 5. Are you saying that the rumor is that these green colorway versions will be mass produced and available this summer?

If that's the case, I'm 1,000% grabbing one. The green is pure confidence (though Shakespeare would call it pure envy...)

Luap1976 10 February 2018 02:08 AM

I love this bb and I'm getting one also on the list .so it can join my sub c and bbb

100thmonkeys is up for £6,450. And still not sold. And yes, still too much.

Roger that. Makes sense.
It bums me out that the limited-edition versions of these Tudors all seem to land in Europe. Being a Los Angeles guy, it looks like my only option is to buy aftermarket at a premium, which isn't worth it to me (...yet).

Shaky 10 February 2018 02:28 AM

If you want a rare black back why don’t you try for the Met Police protection group one. Only 75 made !!! How much could 100thmonkey sell one of those for ??

Apologies I must have had the whole watch market wrong. I didn’t realise that if a watch had an emblem or a logo on it and was extremely rare and made in low numbers it would be worth less than the mass produced one.

I bet you must throw those Comex things in the bin or change the dial if you ever get one !!!!!

Who would want some company name on their watch like that ??

It at all I just find that the Sqn / RAF / Org pieces are truly of interest to those in the job and only a really small market outside of it. Often they are commissioned for an organisation at a discount and are very sentimental to the buyers

Comex is a unique Rolex made at a time when they were truly issued and no one thought the badge would gain indeed it was designed to devalue them as they were company logo’s.

Its a very sad day when an emblem that actually refers to something of real worth is not as popular as a department store special*

Sign of the times I guess


* No offence meant to those who like this watch fro the colours alone

PS - Is that your extremely well hyped (by you) "keeper" that you have up for sale ?

I’m sure the Met piece would be attractive to someone and I would gladly sale or return for any value the owner places on it.

The slight confusion with the Green Bay is that it is a very nice watch with a single point of purchase. The novelty is not Harrods it’s the unique detailing on the bezel, hand and dial that make it amazing. Truth be told the outlet is secondary but it does have weight worldwide with its reputation for luxury

Mines tucked away thanks. One on the website and one incoming this weekend

Just for the record. Love the watch. It’s perfect. Clarity over the release has embarrassed Harrods staff but I’m sure they will get over it

I callled Tudor at Harrods today
RE= BB Harrods
It appears they are getting around 50 watches a month so patiance is a virtue,,,
Been assured I will get a call but no deposits at present and asked if I would be able to pick up the watch in the same day I get the call ?
Depending on what time I get the call then yes that wouldn’t be a problem,,
So fingers crossed and maybe just maybe I may have one by summer,,

So, how have you managed to get hold of 3, let alone sell them for a stupid price?!? Real collectors have missed out because of people like you!

Well:Timed 13 February 2018 12:27 AM

I know that these are coming in to Harrods in random numbers too! Not consecutive!

As for final numbers, I was told they only wanted to order 150 - 200 in total but Tudor screwed Harrods over threatening to pull the exclusive colour... they could pull it at anytime as this proving trouble for them.

Rolex are also monitoring all sold watches, you are black listed if found to be selling purely for profit!

Happy I have one of the first 100.

I didn’t ask people to bring them to me and a few collectors (who didn’t get on the list) now have them so collectors have gained not missed out.
