Indeed. As they are allocated and as documented the list swelled to over 1000 plus the same in phone calls at the weekend!

Not sure it’ll be quite as mental as the Boucherer but it’s very special that’s for sure

What number did you get? :cheers:

swisscheeses 5 December 2017 09:26 PM

I'm on the list, called the first moment it was mentioned before it was out in the public domain! Even had an email from Harrods well over a month ago saying no pre orders are being taken and to call the Tudor department!

I was put on the list, and was told someone would call me... apparently I was 101 on the list!!!!! Hmmmmmmmm! :(

I agree, but it would be soooo much better if it was brushed TT.

thomasicke 5 December 2017 09:53 PM

does anyone know if these are numbered or not? I heard rumors the first 100 might be numbered..

Thats the thing... I was told the first 100 are, then all the others not.

kwingy 5 December 2017 11:05 PM

To the people that get that call - would you still buy it if it weren't numbered?

Good point... personally... No I wouldn't. Reason, its nice to have something a bit 'special'. A normal green looks like its trying to be a Kermit!

Good to hear.

100thmonkey 6 December 2017 12:32 AM

Yes they are numbered and I’d buy it again if it was double the price and not numbered for sure

I am surprised it’s not green to match the bezel like the red bb

vacano 6 December 2017 02:29 AM

It’s just a matter of time before customers on the list can collect in store. The list is very much still open. Anyone can still visit the store and put their name down. I imagine this edition will run for the majority of 2018.

The two seen here are sold and pending collection.

Really? I was there last week and they said the list is closed? :thinking:
Was told there's about 800 names and they are not accepting any more names. So many contradicting information going on.

Clearly but this is what I was told today.

Mr gadget 7 December 2017 10:09 PM

Does anybody have any updates on this watch?

I was told a while back from Dieter at Harrods Rolex that the list had been closed at 200,,,
must give them a call,,,,,,

jaySL350 7 December 2017 11:04 PM

just added to list
 
I just got off the phone to Tudor at Harrods,,,
nice chap took my details to pass on to the person who will add me to the list so maybe a change in policy? and he explained that the watch will not be available until the new year,,,
Shame i didnt have a Harrods reward card as i get the feeling that may have given me a little jump in the que but not to worry,,,,,

Only that list is now a 2 year wait for a watch that launched less than a week ago! Limited or not it’s exclusive to Harrods and they have quite a queue.

There might be another run of unnumbered but not many compared to demand.

jaySL350 7 December 2017 11:10 PM

I for one ,,dont mind waiting that time for such a great piece,,,
hopefully not as long as that,,,
i wonder if Inner and Greater London residents get bumped up the list?

swisscheeses 8 December 2017 12:05 AM

I'm in London next week... I've been on the list for well over a month... so wonder what they will say when I turn up!

Hopefully ‘Hello Mr Cheese, Heres your watch’. Did they tell you which number you are on the 100 list?

swisscheeses 8 December 2017 12:47 AM

Apparently 101... yes 100...and 1! I've even had several emails from Harrods regarding it! So be interested to see what they say!
