Same here. I felt nothing for the hulk submariner but this green black bay I really like.

Really nice :thumbsup:

Stevec14 16 November 2017 05:08 PM

I think it looks good. Hopefully they will limit the numbers. I might give them a call and see what the scoop is. Either way, wont replace my Kermit though.....:thumbsup:

BreezyMan 16 November 2017 05:25 PM

Wow tudor brings the heat again this is like a modern tudor Kermit!
Did anyone else notice it’s ft first on the dial kinda strange don’t they use the metric system across the pond? They really would do well with this as a standard production. Take my money now please

osamu 16 November 2017 06:37 PM

This is pretty nice. If I were in a place to buy a BB and if this were readily available, would make a tough choice between all the variants.

HK Islandboy 16 November 2017 07:50 PM

I like the green a lot. I’m not so fussy about the colours on the dial though

emersm 16 November 2017 07:54 PM

If it only had a date. :thumbsup:

swatty 16 November 2017 07:57 PM

It will be a big seller, I'm confident of that.
The yellow gold hands and accents with the stainless steel case and rivet style bracelet is really nice.

I agree Steve-O. It's a nice looking watch :cheers:

Yes Sir, 1 a piece for each of us :twit: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I wish....those grey market money grabbers will be grabbing cash hand over fist when these babies come on the market. :crying: I'm only joking, there is nothing wrong with that, but maybe this model will be very unpopular and they will be almost paying customers to take them off their hands. :twit:
Its always a demand and supply equation that dictates pricing.

The green submariner will still nevertheless be my go to watch, all time favorite. I do like to have a date feature.

well, this is the UK we are talking about, so the green alternative to the Hulk will sell like hotcakes. This is probably the largest delivery of SS watches from Rolex/Tudor in quite some time :chuckle:

Lucky enough to get one pre-ordered. They contacted me at the end of October:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yes it was a Pam 745 with a blue dial. I passed on that one

rudestew 16 November 2017 09:57 PM

I pop in every now and then as the branded stuff comes about and only advertised in the broadsheets , problem is Tom Fords next door and i do my lot in there and Harrods would be bad for my health especially the champagne bar .

airchitect 16 November 2017 10:11 PM

From what I just saw in my handy dandy google search they’re only doing a run of 100.....for now. Wouldn’t be shocked to see it pop up at Basel. Otherwise DavidSW will have one for $9500 in a few months🤦*♂️

if thats true, i would question the point. Obviously they were going to sell out at some point but if they passed the display case all together its odd. Generally i would think a Store/AD exclusive is to get traffic in the door (not that harrods has that problem) but in any case you can't really use the "exclusive" release to advertise the fact you have them if they are all sold. :thinking:

"Come to Harrods we had an exclusive Tudor release, sort of"

I believe that it is to launch the new and improved watch room which opens also on the 25th

That's what happened with the Bucherer Edition a 3.8K watch can now be had in the states for 7K geesh!

sutats 17 November 2017 10:41 AM

It looks really nice. It's amazing what a little change in colour can do.

ap1 17 November 2017 11:22 AM

Like, want.

BLAUGRANA 19 November 2017 03:59 AM

If one were to get this watch and send it to a trusted independent Service provider and have the seconds hand removed, would Rolex/Tudor add the "standard" Black Bay seconds hand if you sent in for service (and paid for it of course)?

cdbeaver66 19 November 2017 06:14 AM

The first thing you notice is that its green... obviously! But no one has seemed to notice that the reading is feet first. Other BBs are metre first.

jaySL350 19 November 2017 06:16 AM

I would really like one of these but i dont think i get one,,,,
will give Harrods a call and find out if there already all gone,,
which is my guess,,,,,jay

AJM914 19 November 2017 06:56 AM

Looks nice!

dysondiver 19 November 2017 07:19 AM

love the look

GB-man 19 November 2017 08:47 AM

Cool watch. I might have pulled the trigger given the opportunity. I must say I’m a Pelagos guy at heart though.

JimSnyder 19 November 2017 09:26 AM

I like it. But, I am in love with the Black :cheers:

jaySL350 20 November 2017 01:19 AM

Tudor harrods all sold with 400 on waiting list for next batch in the new year
 
Hiya,,,
just got off the phone to a very nice chap at Rolex/Tudor in Harrods,,,
So no suprise that the 100 pieces have all sold and there is a list of 400 people wanting one so they have closed the list until they receive more in the new year!,,,,,,
So there will be others but chap couldnt tell me how many,
oh well! worth a phone call,,,,,jay

kelv_w 20 November 2017 01:59 AM

Wow the list has grown considerably. It was about 150 when I was there on Wednesday

jaySL350 20 November 2017 02:25 AM

Yep,,,,list closed at 400 lol,,,
but they will be more,,,
fantastic marketing again from Rolex/Tudor,,,,jay

pennydanny 29 November 2017 08:42 AM

I want one but I live in Canada. Don't think they will ship oversea...
Can someone from London help me purchase one and ship it over to me?

This will be selling for up to a £1K premium, you really up for paying the going rate?

Mr gadget 2 December 2017 07:33 AM
